Polikliniktes is a term derived from Greek, combining "poli" meaning many and "klinike" meaning clinic. It refers to a polyclinic, which is a medical establishment that offers a wide range of medical services, often in an outpatient setting. Polikliniktes can be part of a larger hospital or operate as a standalone facility. They typically employ various medical specialists who provide consultations, diagnostic services, and treatments for different health conditions.
