The renovation of the Mazsihisz Charity Hospital began in 2019. The investment includes creating a 240-bed geriatric (eldercare) teaching hospital in Zugló, at 53–55 Amerikai Road. All buildings of the institution are being renewed in the project. New medical and care machines and instruments will also be installed.

By March, block III was completed, and demolitions in building II began. The new part of the building is expected to be completed in one year and will be the hospital's main building. The building will house the new outpatient clinic and the 60-bed rehabilitation department.

The Charity Hospital was built in 1914 and nationalized in 1952. Currently, the National Institute of Neurosurgery operates in the original hospital building. The House of the Blind and the Hospice were originally part of the Charity Hospital.

The hospice building was not nationalized, and the Charity Hospital has been operating in it ever since. The hospital was expanded in 1994 when the Institute of the Blind, also nationalized, was returned to the congregation. Until the early 1990s, the Pulmonology and Neurology Department of the Uzsoki Street Hospital operated in the building.
