| | Gesundheitseinrichtung | Explanation:
According to the IDRC report (1st link), this is roughly the same as "facility" -- just like in other countries. I.e., it's a general, broad term. -- However, a distinction is made between the latter and so-called "basic units" ("Unidades Básicas de Saúde", which are obviously intended for primary care, "Einrichtungen der Grundversorgung").
Quote from the IDRC report: "This section will describe the general characteristics of the whole health care system. The data are presented according to the type and ownership of the health units, public or private, and not according to their financing or management. Thus, private sector here refers to the ownership of the unit, whether the public or the private sector finances the service. This distinction is important because privately owned units provide the majority of services financed by the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS, unified health system)."
Given that "unit'" may be a straight translation from Portuguese, the following link may provide a useful hint: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Lista_de_unidades_de_saúd... |
