Tertiary Care
Tertiary care refers to specialized medical services provided by advanced healthcare facilities, often involving complex procedures and treatments. This level of care typically includes services from specialists, such as cardiologists, neurologists, and oncologists, who focus on specific health issues that require advanced technology and expertise.
Patients usually receive tertiary care after being referred from primary or secondary care providers. Common examples include surgeries, cancer treatments, and organ transplants. Tertiary care centers often have extensive resources, including specialized equipment and highly trained staff, to manage severe or rare medical conditions effectively.
