The Indian hospitals[note 1] were racially segregated hospitals, originally serving as tuberculosis sanatoria but later operating as general hospitals for indigenous peoples in Canada which operated during the 20th century.[2][3] The hospitals were originally used to isolate Indigenous tuberculosis patients from the general population because of a fear among health officials that "Indian TB" posed a danger to the non-indigenous population.[4][5] Many of these hospitals were located on Indian reserves, and might also be called reserve hospitals, while others were in nearby cities.
