UCH

UCH is an acronym that can refer to several different institutions, most commonly in medical and educational contexts. Because it is ambiguous, the intended meaning is usually clear from geographic or organizational context.

University College Hospital (London) is one of London's major teaching hospitals. It is affiliated with University College London and forms part of the University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The hospital provides a wide range of services and serves as a key clinical site for UCL’s medical education and research programs.

United Christian Hospital is a hospital in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong. It is part of the Hospital Authority system and serves residents of Kowloon East with a broad range of clinical services. The acronym UCH is commonly used in local communications to refer to this facility.

University of Chicago Hospitals refers to the hospital network historically associated with the University of Chicago. In recent years the system has been integrated into UChicago Medicine, the academic medical center serving the Chicago area, with the University of Chicago Medical Center as its flagship hospital. The term UCH may still appear in older documents or in reference to the historical lineage of the institution.

Because UCH has multiple, regionally distinct meanings, readers should consider the surrounding context—such as country, city, or the parent organization—to determine the intended referent.
