Hospitals

A hospital is an institution for professional health care provided by physicians, nurses and other medical professionals.

The best known type of hospital is the general hospital, which is set up to deal with many kinds of disease and injury, and typically has an emergency ward to deal with immediate health threats.

A general hospital is typically the major health care facility in its region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care and long-term care. Larger cities may have many different hospitals of varying sizes and facilities.

Very large hospitals are often called Medical Centers and usually conduct operations in virtually every field of modern medicine.
