In English, the word "hospital" is neuter and does not have a gender. However, in languages that assign gender to nouns, such as French or Spanish, "hospital" is masculine (le hospital in French, el hospital in Spanish). In those languages, articles and adjectives associated with "hospital" would reflect its masculine form.

The Spanish Military Hospital, known as the "Hospital de San Carlos," was built by the Spanish colonial government in the late 18th century. It was designed by architect Francisco de la Guerra y Lira and served as a medical facility for Spanish troops and locals. The hospital reflects the architectural style of the time and played a significant role in providing healthcare during the colonial period. Its establishment was part of broader efforts to improve military and civilian health services in Spanish territories.
