What is an Outpatient Clinic?

An outpatient clinic is a medical facility where patients receive diagnosis, treatment, or preventive care without overnight stay or hospital admission. These clinics offer a wide range of services including primary care, specialty consultations, diagnostic testing, and minor procedures in a convenient, cost-effective setting.

Why outpatient clinics matter

• Improves healthcare accessibility: Provides convenient locations and flexible scheduling for routine medical care
• Reduces healthcare costs: Offers services at lower prices than hospital-based care while maintaining quality standards
• Streamlines care delivery: Focuses on specific services or specialties, resulting in efficient patient flow and specialized expertise
