Japan
editHi,
in the intro it is stated that "Early Chinese and Japanese hospitals were established by Western missionaries in the 1800s."
This statement is somehow uncorrect -and unsourced.
Main issues/topic to better address imho are:
- 1. Jesuits were present already in the 16th century with an "hospital", but mainly intended for the poors and for the orphans. This should be included and explained.
- 2. In the 16th centuries the Buddhist temples provided medicines: this is a relevant topic to be included.
- 3. Western Medicine was also introduced, and this introduction was complementary to the already present traditional japan and chinese medicine.
Please take a look at this reference:

editIn the section about hospitals in medieval Islam, it states that the first mental hospital was established in Baghdad in 705 C.E. Baghdad was not built until around 762 C.E. under the Abbasid dynasty, which started in 750 C.E. 217.230.248.192 (talk) 10:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Segregation in Hospitals
editIt might be of interest if someone could put together some information on the history of the separation of hospital users (patients) according to age, sex, class, race and wealth.
- It seems to be common nowadays for children to be housed in separate wards from adults, but the cut-off age seems to vary.
- Men and women used to be kept more or less strictly apart in the United Kingdom, but that seemed to change in the sixties or seventies: the government has promised to reverse that process.
- British military hospitals used to have separate wards for officers, NCOs and enlisted men.
- Colonial institutions used to have separate provision for natives and colonists, and the US had separate wards for black and white patients, and sometimes separate hospitals.
- In earlier times hospitals were for the poor, and the rich brought nurses and doctors into their own homes: at some point the more affluent began to pay for better accommodation and service in public institutions. NRPanikker (talk) 03:44, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Duplicate to correct
editThe picture of the Invalides is there twice! Can someone correct it
Historical order
editThe Spanish Colonial Era hospitals section should be moved so that the sections are in chronological order. These hospitals were started in the 16th century. Another section would be warranted on early North American hospitals. -- Talk to G Moore 13:26, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I am going to remove the original 20th century header because I have added a new section for 20th century. Also, there are no citations for the claims made in the original header. I will keep the image. JamesS&T3530 (talk) 17:42, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
20th and 21st centuries
