Paying Zakat to the Hospital

Question
Is it permissible to give zakat to hospitals for cancer patients?
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: It is not permissible to give it to the hospital because it is required to be given to the poor, unless there is a fund in the hospital where the zakat is placed to help the poor with treatment, and God knows best.
