Public hospital – in the area of Medical Care this term details a hospital for diagnosis and treatment of patients, which is supported by the government with public funds. Any patient, who has got covered personal medical insurance (provided by the local state authorities), can be cured there for free or for small sums. The opposite term is “private hospital”, which details a self-financed hospital; therefore treatment there costs a lot more (private hospitals pretending to provide to patients better treatment and more services than the governmental hospitals).
