Abstract

The first maternity clinic and midwifery teaching unit was founded in Zagreb in 1877. In 1894–1895 the major constructional and organizational adaptation was undertaken after the outburst of hospital infections (puerperal fever) and because of inappropriate working conditions. The original layouts of the old and new maternity clinics are presented. The maternity clinic had parturient and puerperal units with delivery room, along with teaching premises and common rooms. The clinic worked in the premises in Ilica 83 until removing to the new university department in Petrova street.
