The word "hospital" comes from Latin, which means "guest", because it was originally established for people to take refuge and has a lounge to make people comfortable and entertaining. Later, it gradually became a professional institution to meet human medical needs and provide medical services, as well as a service place to accommodate and treat patients.
Hospital refers to a medical institution that provides patients with necessary medical examination, treatment measures, nursing technology, consulting services, rehabilitation equipment, rescue and transport services with the main purpose of saving lives in accordance with laws, regulations and industry norms.
Its customers include not only symptomatic patients and wounded, but also elderly people who can't take care of themselves or have limited activities and rely on medical care.
