The Jedi Medical Corps Infirmary ward was housed in the First Knowledge quarter of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. It was composed of over a hundred of the best bacta tanks in the galaxy. It was used to heal wounded Jedi back from their missions and was staffed by Jedi Healers under the supervision of the Circle.
A long hall dotted by bacta tanks and operation tables, the chamber also had private operation rooms of of the main hall. Observation decks overlooked the hall at several intervals down the walls. Several advanced 21-B medical droids operated the machinery and observed the wounded patients.
Many Jedi crowded the beds of the infirmary during the Clone Wars. Depa Billaba, in her comatose state occupied a permanent ward where the healers would keep vigil, waiting for her to wake. K'Kruhk, Tholme, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Tr'a Saa would all come to heal here over the bloody war's course.
During the invasion of the Temple, the 501st Legion laid waste to the hall and destroyed the bacta tanks, killing all those who were healing there.
When Luke Skywalker had the Temple rebuilt, the infirmary was restored to its pristine form once again. Healer Cilghal and her Padawan Tekli would administer their art to all Jedi who returned from missions injured.
After the Sith takeover, decades after the building was built, Darth Maladi would transform one of the operation rooms into a lab where she tortured prisoners of the Sith. The bacta tanks in the hall would glow red, and the lights were removed from overhead, casting the room into a miserable, and dreary gloom.
