At the IX regular meeting of the Serbian Medical Association, in October 1891, a decision was made to establish the Institute for Disinfection, and Dr. Milan Jovanović-Batut was obliged to make a project on the establishment of the Institute. The disinfection institute was built in October 1893 in Vracar and was one of the first preventive health institutions in the Balkans.

The new building was built at the end of 1933 on the initiative of Dr. M. Bulija, acting head of the Department of Public Hygiene, with the most modern equipment and arrangement in Europe at that time.

Due to the construction of the Gazela bridge, the old building was demolished in 1968, and a new one was built in Trebevićka Street, where the Institute is still located today.
