During World War II, in 1942. the Italian occupiers in the area of Kampor fields founded the concentration camp until the capitulation of Italy in 1943. The camp was divided into several sectors, and in the northwestern part of the field there was a so-called. „Campo IV“ which in the beginning of 1943. began the construction of a ten-storey and two-storey. Buildings on the floor were arranged in two rows of five pavilions, and the other two pavilions were located north of them. Buildings in a row probably were intended for prisoners, and in the other two buildings are planned to accommodate the camp kitchen and dwelling prison guard. After the war and the buildings abandoned and left to decay, and it was suggested that the building be adapted to the needs of the mental hospital. The proposal was accepted and 1. September 1955. established the hospital for mental illness in Rab, today's Psychiatric Hospital Rab. The work of the hospital began very modestly, by adapting the present administration building that could receive only 50 patients. Working conditions were difficult, but over time have gradually adapted and edited the other pavilions and the hospital could receive more patients. But it is important to emphasize that, despite the many adaptations, the building retained the original architectural quality and that the external dimensions, form and even holes in the facades of other consistent original specification. For almost six decades of work, the hospital was faced with many problems and difficult working conditions, especially during the war. Due to the lack of material resources and the large influx of patients from the occupied parts of Croatian working conditions were difficult, and the buildings are not maintained and is threatening the very existence of the hospital. By taking over the duties of the Director, Dr. Vesna Šendula-Jengić arranges strategic renewal program facilities and equipment of the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County and thus initiates a systematic renewal that is still in progress. So far, the most restored pavilions accommodating hospital room, administration building, the building of occupational therapy, outbuildings and central kitchen, and plans to recover the remaining pavilions. Also, systematic work and the organization of the hospital environment, and so far it's playground hospital park, several therapeutic gardens and planted a large field of lavender.
