Health centres are local health facilities, providing primary care and, where appropriate, secondary care, and carrying out preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic activities within the centre, without accommodation, or in the patient’s home. Where appropriate, they provide multi-professional care, bringing together medical professionals and medical auxiliaries.
By way of derogation from the previous paragraph, a health centre may carry out diagnostic activities exclusively.
All health centres, including each of their branches, provide services that are reimbursable by the health insurance scheme.
Health centres are open to all persons seeking medical or paramedical care within the remit of the professionals working there.
