Private Hospital: a hospital funded and operated by private corporations, religious organizations, or medical groups instead of government funds.

• A. Healthcare Facility
• B. Private Hospital
• C. Almshouses
• D. Federally Funded Primary Health Care Centers

Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding of ownership and funding of hospitals. A private hospital is funded and operated by private entities—such as corporations, religious groups, or medical groups—rather than by government funds. That makes the defining feature a privately financed and managed facility, which distinguishes it from publicly funded institutions.

A healthcare facility is a broad term that can include both private and public sites, so it’s not specific enough. Almshouses are charitable housing with some medical care, not hospitals. Federally Funded Primary Health Care Centers are government-supported, so they don’t fit the description of private funding and operation.
