A hospital is a well being care establishment offering affected person treatment by specialized workers and equipment.

Hospitals are normally funded by the general public sector, by health organizations (for profit or nonprofit), medical insurance companies, or charities, including direct charitable donations.

Through the Center Ages hospitals served totally different capabilities to modern institutions, being almshouses for the poor, hostels for pilgrims, or hospital schools. The word hospital comes from the Latin hospes, signifying a stranger or foreigner, hence a guest. Another noun derived from this, hospitium got here to suggest hospitality that is the relation between visitor and shelterer, hospitality, friendliness, hospitable reception. By metonymy the Latin phrase then came to mean a guest-chamber, guest's lodging, and an inn. Hospes is thus the basis for the English words host (the place the p was dropped for comfort of pronunciation) hospitality, hospice, hostel and hotel. The latter fashionable word derives from Latin through the traditional French romance phrase hostel, which developed a silent s, which letter was ultimately far away from the word, the lack of which is signified by a circumflex within the modern French phrase hôtel. The German word 'Spital' shares comparable roots.
