Tools for this tag

This tag is used to map a nurse-led clinic, a facility where one nurse or several nurses provided healthcare services for patients, but where a physician is not regularly available.

  • See amenity=doctors or amenity=clinic for outpatient medical facilities where a physician (medical doctor) is available.
  • See amenity=health_post for a healthcare facility where there is no nurse or doctor available.

A nurse is a trained health professional who cares for people who are ill, injured or infirm, but who is not a physician.
