From its opening until 6 September 2019, the station was known as Klinikák, meaning clinics. The area around the station is home to several of the medical facilities of Semmelweis University, the city's medical school and one of the largest health care providers. As part of the university's 250th anniversary, the Mayor of Budapest, István Tarlós declared that the station name would change to Semmelweis Klinikák upon completion of the station's renovations.[3]
