Why are hospitals religious
| Unnecessary inneficiencies
| Do you live in Saudi Arabia or something? wtf
| is it that much different?
| I have never heard of religious hospitals but I think due to an agreement between the state and the church it's obligatory to keep the photo of Jesus or a cross in some places like schools and maybe hospitals.
| In Easter Europe no one cares about religion, except for few old ladies. It simply is not a thing. For the vast majority of people, the only religious event in their lives will be marriage. Some do like to visit a church during Christmas, but even that is getting rarer and rarer. The concept of religious hospitals sound absolutely insane to me.
| >>145167 In my country majority of hospitals are government operated. But there are a few private ones. But this is the first time I heard of religious hospitals...
| Probably generations 'donation' revenue.
| What do you mean by "religious" hospitals?
In the US, most hospitals trace their origins to being founded by religious groups, and they tend to keep the same name even after they've been merged into other hospital organizations/corporations. It doesn't really matter outside of sticking to tradition, though, although some keep company policies/mottos based on their original heritage, even if they're closer to a business than a non profit in 2018.
| Mostly because trying to be a nonprofit healthcare corporation in the US today is next to impossible.
I work in a hospital that is Roman Catholic but aside from the motto of the corporation being religious in nature, it's not any different than other hospitals. We even still perform abortions every so often.
| Never heard of a Muslim hospital before though. Most of the ones here are variations of Protestant (Baptist, Presbyterian Evangelical, etc), Roman Catholic, or Jewish.
| Also it goes without saying that hospitals still treat you regardless of your religion, and you don't need to subscribe to the same religion as the hospital to work there, either. The majority of my coworkers aren't Roman Catholic, and I'm pagan.
| Cause when people are about to die they and theirs loved ones would like to pray for they safety.
I'm assuming you meant like a little altar in the hospital, a full church then it's cause the church pay for the hospital and they might be doing charity work.
| Most of the hospitals near me are Catholic. I don't mind it. Good people, great care, no problems.

| If the title sounds ridiculous to you then you live in a slightly better cesspool than mine.
Here, hospitals are tied to religion. There are christian hospital, islamist hospital, [some unorthodox curch] hospital, etc.
It mostly don't affect people decision in choosing the appropriate one, but still, why???
