outpatient clinics

Outpatient clinics are healthcare facilities where patients receive medical care without being admitted to a hospital. These clinics provide a range of services, including routine check-ups, diagnostic tests, and minor procedures. Patients visit the clinic and return home the same day, making it convenient for those who do not require overnight observation. Outpatient clinics can be specialized, focusing on areas such as dental, mental health, or physical therapy, or they may provide general care. They play a crucial role in managing health issues and promoting preventive care, often helping to alleviate the burden on hospitals.
