Z razširitvijo bojev slovenske vojske z okupatorjem se je pojavila tudi nuja po vzpostavitvi nege ranjencev in njihovo varno bivanje. Postavljena je bila mreža manjših bolnic med katerimi je najbolj znamenita partizanska bolnica Franja, ki je v obdobju od zime 1943 do pomladi 1945 delovala v težko dostopni soteski potoka Pasica v bližini Cerknega. Zgrajena je bila za zdravljenje ranjencev in težjih bolnikov na območju 9. korpusa slovenske partizanske vojske, ki se je spopadala z nemško okupacijsko vojsko. Bolnica je obsegala 11 barak z lastno električno centralo in rentgenom.
