1 hospital, in the modern sense, is an institution that provides medical services for patients by professionals and professional equipment, usually but not always providing long-term hospitalization. Its historical significance, until recently, is a place to provide services for veterans. In modern society, in a broad sense, a hospital is either subsidized by the government of the country where it is located or economically survives through competition in the private sector. At present, hospitals are usually sponsored by public departments, medical institutions, profit-making or non-profit medical insurance companies or churches, including donations directly from churches. Historically, hospitals were usually established and funded by members or leaders of religious institutions or churches. In contrast, modern hospitals are mainly composed of professional physicians, surgeons and nurses. In the past, these tasks were mainly completed by religious institutions or volunteers who set up hospitals.
3 Some patients just go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, and then leave without spending the night in the hospital (outpatients); There are also some patients who are admitted to the hospital and spend the night in the hospital, even for weeks or months. The classification of hospitals is usually determined by the types of medical facilities they provide, the medical services provided for inpatients, and other medical services provided in outpatient clinics. The difference between a hospital and other medical institutions is that it has the ability to admit patients and provide medical services for hospitalized patients, while other types are usually called clinics. ）
