Outpatient services

Definition

Outpatient services (local care) are all medical services conducted in local offices, dispensaries, medical centres or during external consultations with staff of public or private hospitals. They consist of medical treatment administered as part of their independent activity by doctors, dentists and medical support staff (nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, orthoptists etc.), diagnoses made in laboratories and treatment received at thermal spas.
