A clinic is a healthcare setting or facility where individuals receive medical care from health professionals.
There are different types of clinics based on their specialization and the services provided. Examples include:
- Primary Care Clinics: Provide general medical care and ongoing health management.
- Specialty Clinics: Focus on medical specialties like cardiology, dermatology, or orthopedics.
- Urgent Care Clinics: Offer immediate medical attention for non-life-threatening conditions outside of regular office hours.
- Community Health Clinics: Serve underserved populations and offer comprehensive primary healthcare services.
- Outpatient Surgery Centers: Perform surgical procedures that do not require overnight hospitalization.
