The predecessor of the Michalovce hospital was established in 1773 by Anton Count Sztáray de Nagy-Mihaly. In 1863 he established the foundation for the establishment of new Hospital. The foundation created a commission to address the practical issues of new training hospital. In 1875, these conditions were created, including cash resources to establish the groundwork of the hospital and request approval for the creation of the hospital. The Michalovce Hospital with twenty beds was opened on 1 January 1876. In 1890 it was put into operation with another pavilion with 16 beds.
