Plague hospital

A plague hospital was a specialized medical facility established during times of outbreak, like the Black Death, to treat patients infected with the plague. These hospitals aimed to isolate and care for the sick to prevent the disease from spreading further. They often operated under strict quarantine measures and used early methods of treatment. Plague hospitals also served as centers for research and understanding of the disease. While their practices were limited by the medical knowledge of the time, they played a crucial role in managing one of history’s deadliest pandemics.
