Hospitals and clinics are both vital healthcare facilities, but they differ significantly in their scale, services, and the types of conditions they manage. **Hospitals** are typically larger, comprehensive institutions equipped to handle a wide range of medical needs, including emergencies, complex surgeries, and inpatient care (where patients stay overnight or longer). They boast advanced diagnostic equipment, specialized departments (like cardiology, oncology, or trauma centers), and a diverse staff of doctors, nurses, and specialists who provide round-the-clock care for severe illnesses and injuries. **Clinics**, on the other hand, are generally smaller and focus primarily on outpatient services. This means patients receive care and then return home. Clinics are ideal for routine check-ups, preventive care, vaccinations, management of chronic conditions, and treatment of minor illnesses or injuries that don't require hospitalization. While some clinics might specialize (e.g., dental clinics, eye clinics, or even small polyclinics offering multiple basic specialties), they generally provide more accessible and often more affordable care for less critical health concerns.
