Bolnica stoji vzhodno od Zakopov pod skalnim severnim robom Mežakle na nadmorski višini 1050 m. Gre za prvo partizansko bolnico na Gorenjskem, ki so jo decembra 1942 postavili na pobudo partizanskega zdravnika Gorenjskega odreda dr. Edvarda Poharja. Zavetišče so julija 1943 poimenovali ambulanta D.
Lesen objekt pravokotnega tlorisa in s skodlami krito enokapno streho je prislonjen pod skalni previs. Sprva je bil namenjen sanitetni oskrbi ranjencev, kasneje je služil le še kot pribežališče za ranjence in kurirje. Vodo so koristili iz vodnega izvira v jami ob Špici, hrano pa so jim zagotavljale družine iz Podmežakle.
Okupator zavetišča ni nikoli odkril, saj je bil dostop do njega zaradi strmega terena izredno težaven. Zaradi lege pod previsno steno ni bilo mogoče česarkoli opaziti niti iz doline.

The hospital is located east of Zakopi, under Mežakla’s rocky northern edge, at an altitude of 1,050 m. It was the first partisan hospital in the Gorenjska region and was built in December 1942 at the initiative of the partisan doctor of the Gorenjska unit, Dr. Edvard Pohar. The shelter was named Clinic D in July 1943.
The wooden object, of rectangular layout and with a mono-pitched roof covered with shingles, rests on the rocky overhang. It was initially intended for the medical treatment of the wounded, but it later served only as a refuge for wounded persons and couriers. Water was obtained from a spring in the cave next to Špica, and food was provided by families from Podmežakla.
The shelter was never discovered by the occupying forces since the very steep terrain made it extremely difficult to access. Due to its location underneath the overhang, it could not be seen from the valley.

Dr. Edvard Pohar – Brko je v času narodnoosvobodilnega boja (1941–1945) vodil izgradnjo in delovanje več sanitetnih enot na območju Pokljuke, Mežakle, Karavank in drugih delov Gorenjske. Glede na lego jih je razvrstil po abecednem sistemu (ambulanta A, B, C, D …). Jeseničani so bolnico poznali tudi pod imenom Poharjeva bolnica. Vir: fototeka Gornjesavskega muzeja Jesenice.
During the national liberation movement (1941-1945) Dr. Edvard Pohar – Brko led the construction and operation of several medical units in Pokljuka, Mežakla, the Karavanke mountains and other parts of the Gorenjska region. He organised them alphabetically depending on their location (clinic A, B, C, D ...). Locals from Jesenice knew the hospital as Pohar’s hospital.

Bolnica je velika približno 4 x 3 m in je lahko naenkrat sprejela 4-5 pacientov. V njej je bila še kuhinja (na fotografiji) in omarica s sanitetnim materialom. Večje količine sanitetnega materiala so bile spravljene v neposredni bližini pod skalami. Vir: fototeka Gornjesavskega muzeja Jesenice.
