A clinic is a type of health facility that provides medical care or advice to outpatients, meaning people who do not need to stay overnight in a hospital. Clinics can offer different kinds of services, such as diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or education. Clinics can also specialize in certain areas of medicine, such as dentistry, dermatology, or psychology. Clinics can be run by one or more doctors, nurses, or other health professionals. Clinics can be privately operated or publicly funded. Some clinics are part of larger medical institutions, such as hospitals or universities.

Some examples of clinics are:

• Mayo Clinic: This is a famous clinic in the United States that offers high-quality medical care and research in various specialties. It has locations in Arizona, Florida, and Minnesota. It also has an international branch in London, United Kingdom.
• Antenatal clinic: This is a clinic that provides care and advice for pregnant women. It usually offers services such as ultrasound scans, blood tests, vaccinations, and counseling.
• Walk-in clinic: This is a clinic that does not require appointments or referrals. It usually offers services such as minor injuries, infections, allergies, and prescriptions.
