"……..Over the years, the hospital has evolved into the institution and buildings that we know and trust, through the advance of scientifi c medicine. Th ere have been revolutions in surgery (anaesthesia and asepsis), imaging (X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and laboratory medicine (bacteriology and haematology), among many other fields. The locus of all these developments was the hospital, leading to its enormous significance today, although some activities are increasingly able to be carried out in other settings.
Hospitals are not only sites to provide health care: they carry out extensive programmes relating to research and development, education and training, and in their own right they are critical components of the urban fabric. Thus, although there are sure to be major evolutions in the nature and role of hospitals, the institutions themselves are unlikely to be displaced soon.. …."Philippe Maystadt President European Investment Bank
