It refers to a type of charity hospital established to treat the illnesses of the poor free of charge. The word originates from the Latin hospitium, which originally meant "a place to receive guests." Ancient priests played both the roles of physicians and shamans, and Greek temples were dedicated to Asclepius (the god of medicine) and Hygieia (the goddess of health), and were used as training centers for physicians and as sanatoriums for the sick. Remains of such buildings can be found in Greece, Egypt, Babylonia, India, and other places. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
