war hospitals
Battlefield medical facilities
War hospitals are medical facilities established to treat casualties during armed conflict.
They may be permanent military installations, field hospitals near combat zones, or civilian hospitals repurposed for wartime care.
The term evokes images of overwhelmed staff, makeshift conditions, and the mass treatment of wounded soldiers: The war hospital received hundreds of casualties after the offensive.
