The Beginning of Hospitals and Healthcare

The source of hospitals originated from the influence of Christians, who worked to establish healthcare and healing practices with the impact coming from religious and faithful foundations. This process of the creation of hospitals occurred throughout Europe over time, which eventually spread to the rest of the world in later times.

It has left a great impact on society and its healthcare’s systems today, as many hospitals remain to be named after Saints or have religious attributions. It is evident that the religious groups of Christianity that were involved in the founding of hospitals from the names, such as St. Lukes, St. Mary’s, St. John’s and Mount Sinai.

The Christianity influences remained prevalent from the beginning of Christ until present day. We owe it to the Christians, who devoted love and care to the sick, for establishing a healthcare system that was founded on true support that allowed it to become a successful system that developed into something appreciable.
