The first united clinical hospital is one of the first creations of Soviet healthcare in the Belarusian SSR. It was opened in connection with the need to improve the provision of medical and preventive care to the population of the city of Minsk, as well as to create a clinical training base for the medical faculty of the Belarusian State University.

• In the first half of 1928, the Council of People's Commissars of the Belarusian SSR decided to build a clinical base for the medical faculty - a clinical campus, which began in the spring of 1929 in a pine forest on the Borisovsky tract. Four buildings were built.
• The grand opening of the clinical campus took place on July 11, 1931. The total number of beds in the entire clinical campus at that time was 370. However, the growth of the medical institute and increasing demands for a scientific and clinical base, on the one hand, as well as population growth, on the other, prompted the People's Commissariat of Health of the BSSR and the hospital directorate to expand the obstetrics and gynecology clinic , in connection with this in 1937-1938. The third building was added.

The activities of the clinical campus before the Great Patriotic War were extremely fruitful; its clinics rightfully occupied a leading place not only in the organization of medical, scientific and educational work, but also had a significant impact on the state of medical care in the republic.

Already in 1932, the clinical campus team initiated a campaign to improve the culture of service and improve the quality of health care for workers in Belarus.

In May 1934, the results of the all-Belarusian competition for the best hospital were summed up. For the 63 hospitals that participated in the competition, the Clinical Town received a prize of 10,000 rubles and the Challenge Red Banner of the People's Commissariat of Health and the Central Board of the Union of Medical Labor.

In subsequent years, the clinical campus expanded its diagnostic, treatment, scientific, educational and economic facilities.

By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, it was one of the most prominent medical institutions in the Soviet Union.

By the end of 1939, the clinical campus had 650 main beds and 150 beds in the children's department of the obstetric clinic. From 1934 to 1939, the hospital was headed by the chief physician M.I. Kovolenok.

In the first days of the Great Patriotic War, wounded soldiers and commanders of the Soviet Army and residents of the town who suffered from air raids by enemy aircraft were hospitalized in the clinical town. After the occupation of the city, a significant part of the workers continued the heroic work of treating the sick and wounded under conditions of persecution and terror of the occupiers. Later, the fascist German invaders transferred the wounded Soviet soldiers to prisoner of war camps, and the clinical town was used as a hospital for fascist soldiers.
