This sounds like wikifiddling to me. I reduced its weight in
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Tag:amenity%3Dclinic&diff=2029091&oldid=1996391

Note that OSM maps reality and official government/local referring to something under an unusual
 term is not changing type of feature. Prisons should be tagged as prisons, even if government
calls them "vocation centers".

If something is clearly not a hospital it should not be tagged as one even if official
or local name includes "hospital". Even if locals are referring to them as "hospital".
