According to its founding law (AN 1137/1946),[2] NIMTS is a Legal Entity of Public Law, which is overseen by the Ministry of National Defence, through the Hellenic Army General Staff.

The hospital consists of two multi-storey buildings with a total capacity of 405 beds. The second building which is called the "new wing" (νέα πτέρυγα) was inaugurated in 1981. More than 100,000 patients are examined on a yearly basis and more than 15,000 patients are hospitalized. It employs around 1,000 people.
