The word "hospital" comes from Latin, meaning "guest", because when it was first established, it was for people to take refuge and there was also a lounge for tourists to enjoy themselves comfortably. Later, it gradually became a professional institution to meet human medical needs and provide medical services, and it was a service place to accommodate and treat patients. China is one of the first countries to establish hospitals. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, the plague was prevalent along the Yellow River. Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, set up medical clinics in various places, equipped with doctors and medicines, to treat the people free of charge.
