The centre is most famous for its medical rehabilitation caring for victims of mines.
The centre is also very active in the field of education of practitioners, and receives a lot of students (nursing, doctors, physiotherapists…) and stagiaires. The Institute has also a huge information and documentation centre that is open to all Slovenian citizens.
