Do the points of service function similarly to a CLSC? Are there patients hospitalized on site?
Each dispensary is a CLSC point of service and therefore functions similarly. Although patients are not hospitalized at those points of service, they are regularly kept for observation purposes to monitor developments in their health problems. However, when a medical evacuation is necessary, the patient remains under observation until the aircraft arrives. Other types of intervention may also require observation, such as antibiotic therapy.
