It was the oldest hospital in Amsterdam, whose history dates back to the time of the Reformation.[2] Bep Voskuijl's father, Johan Voskuijl, was admitted to the Binnen Gasthuis during his illness.[3] 

In the 1980s, the hospital moved from the city center to become part of the Academic Medical Center.[4]
