private hospital
Non-public medical facility
A private hospital is a medical facility operated independently of government healthcare systems, typically funded through patient fees, insurance payments, or private investment rather than public taxes.
Private hospitals often offer shorter wait times, private rooms, and elective procedures: She had her knee replacement done at a private hospital.
The term implies a contrast with public or state-run hospitals.
