The term hospital refers to a sanitary building used in order to care for and heal the wounded or sick through people specialized in the medical and nursing areas, auxiliary personnel, 24 hours a day, every day of the year, for which they use technology tools, equipment, instruments and pharmacology, required to carry out the functions. Hospitals can be classified into three different classes: First, Second and Third degree, being in this way due to the complexity with which it works in said center. In addition, within hospitals, attention is constantly paid to individuals with different problems, which can range from the mildest, to the most critical situations, sometimes requiring curative or later care.
The word hospital originates from the Latin word "hospes" which means "guest", and this in turn gave rise to the word "hospitalia" whose meaning was " place of visits for strangers " and finally the word hospital emerged from the latter, which means site of help to the elderly and sick because in ancient times hospitals were places where various actions were carried out, in order to provide help to the sick, elderly and poor of a certain place. However, as time passed, the hospital representation began to relate only to the care of those individuals with health problems.
In ancient times, the prelate was the person in charge of protecting low-income people, both healthy and sick, also from widows, children without parents and travelers, and in times when the church enjoyed a good economy, It was frequent that a part of that money was allocated in order to help those most in need. These events led to the creation of hospitals, so that those sick people were located in one place so that they could more easily accept the help they needed. In the following, a quarter of the income that the church donated to hospitals was not paid, in addition to the abuses of powerand the lack of principles meant that the hospitals did not subsist except with the gifts of the faithful.
