Ljubljana University Medical Centre

The Ljubljana University Medical Centre (Slovene: Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana, abb. UKC Ljubljana) or Ljubljana UMC is the largest hospital centre in Slovenia based in Ljubljana. It was officially opened on 29 November 1975 and as of December 2019 had over 2,100 beds and over 8,300 employees, making it one of the largest hospital centres in Central Europe. It is the main training base for the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Health Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine, which is housed nearby. Since February 2023, the Director General of the Ljubljana University Medical Centre has been the traumatologist Marko Jug. The construction of the central building started in 1966 and was completed in 1975. The design was work by a group of architects led by Stanko Kristl (diagnostic, therapeutic, and service facilities – DTS) and the architect Janez Trenz (in-patient wards). In 2005, a company led by the architect Uroš V. Birsa designed a new emergency centre.
