Civilopedia entry[]
Hospitals serve a vital function, especially for those without individual access to medical expertise or a safe, clean environment in which they can recuperate. Many early hospitals were a part of religious communities or carried out charitable functions. The first recorded public hospital was built in Paliputra during the fifth century BCE, and was a place where those unable to afford a doctor's home visit could seek treatment, free of charge. Later, Khmer had a similar system of hospitals across their empire devoted to the Buddhist deity of healing, and the Muslim caliphates of the Middle Ages created public hospitals for the sick and wounded as a part of a public and moral good. Europe came to the project later, but during the Middle Ages, Catholic institutions set up hospitals, especially in southern Europe. These religious institutions often later transformed into state efforts to improve public health and ensure a healthy, happy citizenry. Even Adam Smith, that famous advocate for the free market, excluded hospitals from his model; it’s difficult to imagine shopping around for the lowest price when one’s leg is broken!
