general hospitals
Broad treatment facilities
General hospitals are medical facilities that provide a broad range of services rather than specializing in one area.
They typically handle emergency care, surgery, maternity, and various medical conditions—distinguishing them from specialized institutions like psychiatric hospitals or children's hospitals.
Most community hospitals are general hospitals: The nearest general hospital is twenty miles away.
