136. Hospital
A hospital is a healthcare facility where patients receive medical examination, treatment, surgery, emergency care or other specialised health services. Hospitals may serve local communities, large regions or specialised medical needs.
Road signs may direct drivers toward a hospital using a medical or hospital symbol. Drivers should follow the applicable direction signs and take particular care around hospital entrances, where ambulances, pedestrians and other vehicles may be entering or leaving.
