Hospital

Vocabulary List Number 407 v.0.4 with 6 entries in 1 chapter containing 6 definitions. Updated at May 19, 2026.

         Main Definitions

1. Britannica: hospital |n| an institution that is built, staffed, and equipped for the diagnosis of disease, for the treatment of the sick and injured, and for their housing during this process. The modern hospital also often serves as a center for research and teaching. To better serve the wide-ranging needs of the community, the modern hospital often has outpatient facilities, as well as emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services. In addition, “bedless hospitals” provide strictly ambulatory (outpatient) care and day surgery. Patients arrive at the facility for short appointments. They may also stay for treatment in surgical or medical units for part of a day or for a full day, after which they are discharged for follow-up by a primary care health provider. Hospitals have long existed in most countries. Less-developed countries, which contain a large proportion of the world’s population, generally do not have enough hospitals, equipment, and trained staff to handle the volume of persons who need care. Thus, people in these countries do not always receive the benefits of modern medicine, public health measures, or hospital care, and they generally have lower life expectancies. (From Britannica. May 19, 2026.)
2. Google IA: hospital |n| a healthcare institution providing specialized medical, nursing, and surgical care for ill or injured patients 24/7.

5. Oxford: hospital |n| a large building where people who are ill or injured are given medical treatment and care. (From Oxford Learners Dictionary. May 18, 2926.)
6. Wikipedia: hospital |n| a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized medical science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. (From Wikipedia.

Relevant phenomena include supernova explosions, gamma ray bursts, quasars, blazars, pulsars, and cosmic microwave background radiation. More generally, astronomy studies everything that originates beyond Earth's atmosphere. Cosmology is the branch of astronomy that studies the universe as a whole. Astronomy is one of the oldest natural sciences. The early civilizations in recorded history made methodical observations of the night sky. These include the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Indians, Chinese, Maya, and many ancient indigenous peoples of the Americas. In the past, astronomy included disciplines as diverse as astrometry, celestial navigation, observational astronomy, and the making of calendars. Astronomy is one of the few sciences in which amateurs play an active role. This is especially true for the discovery and observation of transient events. Amateur astronomers have helped with many important discoveries, such as finding new comets. (From Wikipedia. May 14, 2026.)
