Hospital sukarela

Hospital sukarela ditubuhkan dari abad kelapan belas di United Kingdom. Di Amerika, Ireland, dan Australia, hospital sukarela didirikan kemudian. Hospital ini dapat dibezakan dari hospital perbandaran, yang milik awam, dan hospital swasta, yang dijalankan secara komersial. Hospital ini pada awalnya dibiayai dengan langganan awam. Hospital sukarela juga boleh menjadi hospital amal.
