Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
French term or phrase: Etablissement de santé
Comes up in a contract between hospitals and sponsors of clinical trials. E.g.
"L’Etablissement de santé XXXX, Monsieur XXXX, dûment habilité à l’effet de la
présente convention, et ci-après désigné « l’Etablissement de santé »,"

I'm tending toward "healthcare establishment", but have seen "hospital" used in similar texts.
TIA for your input.
Jonathan MacKerron
healthcare establishment
Explanation:
I agree with your own suggestion; this form texts needs to be as general as possible, and 'hospital' would be too restrictive, other than in certain specific contexts. It is possible for there to be other 'establishments' that are not actually 'hospitals'

agree  Tony M: I think this would be particularly good for the US; I think the use of 'facility' in this sense in GB is perhaps just a tad behind that in the US.
