The building from Caldarusani Monastery no. 9, is also the central headquarters of the Institute, and is part of the architectural heritage, and it is a creation of the architect Ion Micu, bearing ceramic decorations in Romanian style.

In 1974 the Institute extends itself with a new clinical department, standing out through its interior comfort and wide spaces, situated in natural scenery, with an area of 11 ha, at Otopeni.

There were also founded: a polyclinic in Bucharest, plus 109 geriatrics’ cabinets all over the country, including the exterior clinical departments of
Spa resorts, under the Institute “Ana Aslan” Clinic’s supervision:
Felix Spa: Thermal 3*, International 3*, Poenita 2*
Herculane Spa: Roman 2* hotel
Mangalia (Black sea coast resort): Paradiso 3* hotel

The first in the world, the Gerontology and Geriatrics Institute, was founded in 1952, through the Ministers’ Council’s order and it became a National Institute in 1974 and in 1992, it was named “Ana Aslan”.
From its very foundation, until 1988 the Institute was run by Acad. Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan, its matter of activity being: geriatrics’ medical assistance, social research and gerontology.
In 1964 the president of WHO suggested it as a model for geriatrics’ institute in highly developed countries.
The first medicine particularly created for the delay of the aging process, was created between 1946 and 1956, by Prof. Dr. Ana Aslan and her school after a number of clinical and experimental researches.
The results of this study stand for the subject of the paper, Novocain – a eutrophic and rejuvenating factor, published together with Prof. C.I.Parhon in 1955. A year later, in 1956, Gerovital is introduced for the first time to the international medical world, at Therapiewoche Congress in Karlsruhe, and than to the European Congress of Gerontology in Basel.
The institute developed into a magnet for wealthy and prominent people from Europe and other continents, all searching for a way to stave off the ravages of age. Dr.Aslan traveled abroad to lecture and to promote Gerovital and Aslavital, another youth treatment she developed.
Along the years over 30 state leaders as well as an impressive number of famous personalities from the artistic and cultural world everywhere were among the patients of the Institute.
Among the famous people who took Dr.Ana Aslan treatment-or were widely reported to have done so, were Gen.Charles de Gaulle, Nikita S. Khrushchev, Indira Gandhi, Marshal Tito and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of West Germany, as well the actresses and actors; Lillian Gish, Marlene Dietrich, Claudia Cardinale, Robert Redford.
In a program of hospital evaluation in Romania, made in 2002 by the World Bank, its Spokesman, in his final review, characterized Ana Aslan Institute as the “Crown Pearl” of Romania’s Hospitals.

Today Ana Aslan’s anti-aging treatment is an internationally renewed brand administered all over the world.
