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 typically visit for a few hours and can return home the same day.
These clinics are often staffed by various healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and physician assistants. They focus on preventive care and managing chronic conditions, making healthcare more accessible and convenient for patients. Outpatient clinics can be found in community health centers, private practices, and specialized facilities.
