Health facility
A
Health facility
is, in general, any location where healthcare is provided. Health facilities range from small
clinics
and
doctor's offices
to
urgent care
centers and large
hospitals
with elaborate
emergency rooms
and
trauma centers
. The number and quality of health facilities in a
country
or region is one common measure of that area's
prosperity
and
quality of life
. In many countries, health facilities are
regulated
to some extent by
law
;
licensing
by a regulatory agency is often required before a facility may open for business. Health facilities may be owned and operated by
for-profit business
es,
non-profit organizations
,
governments
, and in some cases by
individuals
, with proportions varying by country.
