During the Tudor period in England (1485-1603), there were relatively few hospitals, with only about 30 recognized hospitals existing by the end of the 16th century. Most hospitals were charitable institutions providing care primarily for the poor, elderly, and sick. The concept of hospitals as we know them today was still in its infancy, with many people relying on family or community support for care. Additionally, the majority of medical care was provided by local healers or through home remedies.
