private clinic
Non-public medical facility
A private clinic is a medical facility operated independently rather than by a government health system, typically funded through patient fees or private insurance.
Private clinics often emphasize shorter wait times, personalized care, or specialized services: She went to a private clinic for her knee surgery rather than waiting months in the public system.
