History

The Special Hospital for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Neurology (SBCPRN) was established on October 10, 1958 as the Center for Cerebral Palsy operating within the Institute for Mother and Child Health Care of Serbia Dr Vukan Čupić. In 1960, with the completion of the building located at Braće Jerković 5, it became an independent healthcare institution, now functioning as the Day Hospital and the Department for Pre–Professional Orientation and Training (Pavilion II). Since its inception, the institution has been dedicated to habilitating children with cerebral palsy, and when the facility located at Sokobanjska 17a, now known as Pavilion I, opened in October 1972, early detection and diagnosis of cerebral palsy and neurodevelopmental conditions also became a point of focus.

In January 1969, the Center developed into the Institute for Cerebral Palsy functioning within the Institute for Rehabilitation. In August 1989, the Institute separated from the Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and began functioning as an independent organization. On October 14, 1997, it evolved into the Special Hospital for Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Neurology.
