After the siege, the hospital was only used once more, in 1956, in response to the uprising against the Soviet rule. After that, the hospital functioned as a prison for a short period before being re-purposed as a nuclear bunker, but one dedicated to keeping 200 doctors and nurses safe and available to treat the wounded. Nobody ever took up residence in the bunker, except for a caretaker and his wife. Because of this, the hospital museum now has a collection of anti-radiation kits, as well as some Soviet spying equipment, on display.
