The Health Acts define the term "institution" as meaning a hospital, sanatorium, maternity home, convalescent home, preventorium, laboratory, clinic, health centre, first aid station, dispensary or any similar institution. However, the terms "hospital" and "general hospital" are not themselves defined in the Acts.
