infections and diseases.

Hospitals may be classified in various ways:
 Bed Number and Length of Stay
 Ownership and Control
 Type of Service
Classification of Hospitals
 General hospitals may be
academic health facilities or community-based
entities. They admit all types of medical and
surgical cases, and they concentrate on patients
with acute illnesses needing relatively short-term
care
 Extended Health Care With the advance in
medical science and the ever-increasing cost of
hospital operations, the progressive-care concept
is more attractive, both for outpatient and
inpatient care.
 Specialized Health and Medical Care
Facilities Hospitals that specialize in one type of
illness or one type of patient can generally be
found in the developed world. Specialized health
services often are a department of the general
hospital or a satellite operation of the hospital
 Mental Health Facilities Psychiatric patients
traditionally have been cared for in long-
stay mental health facilities, formerly called
asylums or mental hospitals. There are still
facilities that specialize in the treatment of mental
illness.
 Long-term Care Facilities Today, long-term
care facilities have a more active role in health
care. Some facilities are transitional from
an acute hospital setting to the community.
 Private Hospitals Independent private
hospitals sometimes are run by a company or
business consortium. Many of these privately
funded hospitals are able to provide most or all of
the services of a general hospital, including
constant medical care and nursing services. Such
facilities, however, are costly.
 The Hospice Historically a hospice was a
guesthouse intended for pilgrims and was often
closely connected with a monastery and
supervised by monks.
 Mission Hospitals Apart from its religious
associations, a mission hospital functions as a
general hospital in the sense that it admits all who
need hospital care. Perhaps the most important
contribution made by mission hospitals is in the
enormous numbers of persons, particularly
women and children, who have been treated as
outpatients.
Healthcare in the Philippines
 Public Healthcare
Doctors and nursing staff in public hospitals are highly
proficient, however public healthcare in the
Philippines faces some limitations.
Public healthcare in the Philippines is administered by
a government-owned corporation which is the
PhilHealth.
 Private Healthcare
Doctors in a private hospitals are as good as doctors
practicing in a public sector although private facilities
are much better equipped and the treatment is
typically faster. As a result, private services are
considered to be expensive by locals.

funded by the government.
