A 2013 restructuring led to the closure of some of its rooms and services related to infectious diseases and gave it the role of medium-stay hospital attached to the Hospital Universitario La Paz for referring patients to public hospitals in the Community of Madrid. The need to admit a number of patients affected by Ebola virus disease in 2014 led to the reopening of the infectious disease treatment area.
