This facility was inaugurated in 1964 , becoming the most important center for specialized medicine in the country . It is located on Cuauhtémoc Avenue in the far southwest corner of the colonia . The hospital houses about 30 works of art from fourteen different artists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros , Federico Cantú , Luis Nishizawa , Francisco Zúñiga , José Chávez Morado , Salvador Pinoncelly and Tosia Malamud . The 1985 Mexico City earthquake damaged many of the buildings 's foundations requiring demolitions but their artworks were salvaged . The center sees the art as an integral part of the healing process . Inside the main entrance of the hospital is a mural called " Homage to rescue " by José Chávez Morado . It is 230 square meters etched in marble done between 1988 and 1999
