A hospital is a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized medical science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The cited article says 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, and that 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. It also mentions specialized hospitals such as trauma centers. Buildings recorded in the atlas as hospitals are grouped under this concept.
