Extract

The problem of protection and sheltering of hospitalized patients in wars and other national emergencies has been reviewed by many countries in recent years. Presently, there are wide differences in policies that range from full underground sheltering of hospitals as adopted by the Swiss, partially protected to almost fully protected facilities in hospitals as adopted by the Israelis, to no protection at all as in most other countries.
