Operating room lights are meant to suppress any shadows so that the surgeons have consistent and uniform lighting while doing procedures. The surgical light in the picture is the most advanced on the market.

A hospital is a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care.
