What is "private medicine"?
Private medicine refers to healthcare services provided by healthcare facilities, practitioners, or organizations that work independently from government-funded or public healthcare systems. In private medicine, patients typically pay directly for medical services or have private health insurance that covers the costs. This system allows patients to choose their healthcare providers and access medical care more quickly compared to public healthcare systems, where access may be based on waiting lists or government funding. Private medicine often offers a wider range of services, resources, and flexibility in appointment scheduling. However, it may be more costly for patients who do not have private health insurance.
