In 1843, the Šiauliai Jewish community established a hospital in a wooden house and later, moved it
to a newly built building at Pagyžių street No.1. The whole hospital complex consisted of a two-storey
brick building with a volume of 3700 m and two more wooden buildings housing a pharmacy, a chem-

premises for keeping inventory.
All buildings are built on a plot
of 5903 m . In 1915, Germans

established a city hospital in a
Jewish hospital. During the in-
terwar period, the Jewish com-
munity decided not to use this
hospital solely for the treatment
of Jews and provided opportu-

treatment in it by renting the
building to the city municipality.
Currently, the building houses
the dental centre.
