Until the opening of Ninewells Hospital in 1974, Dundee Royal Infirmary was Dundee’s main hospital. It was closed in 1998, after 200 years of operation. Dundee Royal Infirmary, founded in Dundee by Dr Robert Stewart and the local minister Robert Small in 1782, building on a similar venture started in 1735. Dundee Infirmary was opened in King Street on 11 March 1798, just under four years after its foundation stone had been laid. At first, this building housed 56 beds, but it was expanded by the addition of wings between 1825 and 1827. The infirmary was granted a Royal Charter by George III in 1819, after which it became known as the "Dundee Royal Infirmary and Asylum". In 1820, the asylum was formally established as a separate entity in its own premises in Albert Street, and the hospital gained its official title of "Dundee Royal Infirmary", although locals would often simply refer to it as "the DRI". During World War I, part of the Infirmary was requisitioned for use as a military hospital. The running of the hospital was taken over by the newly formed National Health Service on 5th July 1948. A specialist Neurosurgery Department was set up in the 1960s by Joseph Block and Ivan Jacobson, who pioneered the use of advanced neuro-surgical techniques at the hospital, and officially opened in 1966. In the 1970s, the hospital became one of the first in the United Kingdom to acquire a CAT scan head scanner, when it did so under Jacobson's guidance.
