History

In 1938, the land plot destined for the hospital was bought by the Rio Grande do Sul State Government and was donated to the University two years later. Construction started in 1943, but financial and political problems plagued the work, which went on into the 60s. In 1971 the statute of the hospital was approved, and the following year saw the start of activities.[4]

The first outpatient visit was February 2, 1972 and the first inpatient was admitted on 23 May of the same year (Nephrology).

The first renal transplant occurred in 1974. In 2009, the first lung transplant occurred.[4]

In 2009, the Centro de Pesquisa Clinica (Clinical Research Center) was opened, with 3,000 sq meters of space for research. It will be one of the main centers for the ELSA Project (Longitudinal Study of the Brazilian Population), and also a major center in psychiatric, gynecologic and cardiology research.[4]
