- Hospital ships or medical ships (occasionally mercy ships) were a type of starship used by Federation, allied and threat forces. Not always purpose-built from the keel up, they were tasked with serving as emergency medical care that was outside the capacity of any one starship's sickbay. Hospital ships were stationed near the front lines of military engagements, and also accompanied missions of evacuation or colonial resettlement. These vessels -- as well as medical couriers -- were administered by Starfleet Medical in coordination with Starfleet Operations. (Orion Press: "Shades of Grey")
- Various species and cultures had ships of this nature, including the Federation. The USS Fleming was a Federation medical transport. (TNG: "Force of Nature" ) In the anti-time future, one such hospital ship was the USS Pasteur, operated by Starfleet Medical, as indicated by its emblems on the primary hull and their prominent presence on the bridge. In that same future, the Klingon Empire defeated the Romulan Star Empire. In 2395, there was a Terrellian plague on Romulus. Federation medical ships had permission from the Klingons for crossing the border, so they could deliver medical supplies to the planet. (TNG: "All Good Things..." )

These vessels -- as well as medical couriers -- were administered by Starfleet Medical in coordination with Starfleet Operations. (Orion Press: "Shades of Grey") As was the case with science scouts and survey vessels, such ships were often lightly armed (usually only with phasers). They were often accompanied by at least one escort vessel, a destroyer or frigate, especially during wartime. (Kitbashed Starships: USS Hope (NCC-H235); Star Trek: Shadowstar Station: "Rescue the Perishing") Kitbashed Starships does not specify the class of the escort vessel(s), but "Rescue the Perishing" does.

(TNG: "All Good Things..." ) One subject discussed at a conference on Romulus during the Dominion War in 2375 was a proposal to transfer twenty-five Federation hospital ships to the Romulans. (DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges") In 2377, USS Voyager came across a Kraylor medical transport that Harry Kim named Nightingale. (VOY: "Nightingale") The Denobulans used medical ships to transport their medical supplies. (ENT: "Cold Station 12")
