<div>So what's the consensus on clinics? If there is a consenus (rather than the</div>
<div>usual bunfight) I'll amend the wiki pages to make it explicit that clinic</div>
<div>can be used for units/departments/centres in hospitals.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I even do not know whether there is a consensus. In Germany, we use "amenity=clinic" often for everything which has not "hospital" (in german) in their name but looks like a hospital, often the difference is just emergency=no. Many of them are healthcare=rehabilitation, is amenity=clinic then still fitting also with that?</div>

Right, that doesn't work. If the HIV clinic or department has<br/>
different details, such as a different name, opening_hours, website,<br/>
etc, then it will need to be mapped as a separate feature, such as an<br/>
amenity=clinic node inside of the amenity=hospital area.</blockquote>

Thanks for giving your view of the usage of amenity=clinic (and, by</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">implication, healthcare=clinic as the wiki states it's an alternative</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">to amenity=clinic). The wiki pages for healthcare=clinic and</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">amenity=clinic don't seem to explicitly state that these tags are</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">appropriate for units/departments/centres of hospitals.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">I agree with your view. The value "clinic" may not have been the best we</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">could have chosen but there doesn't seem to be any other value to use</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">for the X-ray department, diabetes centre, renal dialysis unit, etc. of a</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">hospital. Before the current crisis I was mapping my nearest general</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">hospital and using amenity=clinic + healthcare=clinic in this way.</div>
<div class="gmail_quote"> </div>
<div class="gmail_quote">The only reason to think otherwise is that the wiki page on healthcare</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">lists only two specialities for clinics: abortion and fertility, indicating that</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">at least one person considered clinics to be standalone and not normally</div>
<div class="gmail_quote">part of hospitals.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So what's the consensus on clinics? If there is a consenus (rather than the</div>
<div>usual bunfight) I'll amend the wiki pages to make it explicit that clinic</div>
<div>can be used for units/departments/centres in hospitals.</div>
