meditsiinitöötaja

Meditsiinitöötaja is an Estonian term that translates to "healthcare professional" or "medical worker". This broad category encompasses a wide range of individuals who are trained and licensed to provide health services to patients.

Meditsiinitöötajad play a crucial role in the healthcare system, offering a diverse set of skills and expertise. This includes doctors who diagnose and treat illnesses and injuries, nurses who provide direct patient care and administer treatments, and various allied health professionals such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and radiographers.
