What is the difference between hospital and institution?

A hospital is a specific type of healthcare facility that provides medical treatment, emergency care, and surgeries, typically staffed by doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. An institution, on the other hand, is a broader term that refers to any organized establishment, including educational, social, or governmental entities, which may not necessarily provide healthcare. While all hospitals are institutions, not all institutions are hospitals; for example, schools and correctional facilities are also considered institutions but serve different purposes.
