Indian Hospital was a public hospital in Fort Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan. The hospital was originally built by the federal government and specialized as a 50-bed tuberculosis treatment facility. When responsibility of TB was later taken over by the Fort Sanatorium this facility transitioned to one of many Indian hospitals administered by the Federal Government across Canada. Early in the 1990s the Touchwood File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Council (TFHQTC) commenced negotiations to assume responsibility for the delivery of emergency and acute care services in the Fort Qu'Appelle Indian Hospital with the Federal and Provincial Governments and the local health authority. Negotiations successfully concluded in 1996 with an agreement between the parties for the provision of full hospital services by the TFHQTC.

The Indian hospitals 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. 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. Many of these hospitals were located on Indian reserves, and might also be called reserve hospitals, while others were in nearby cities.
