French term or phrase: centre de soin

"En effet les infrastructures, telles que les réseaux d’alimentation en eau potable et en électricité, les réseaux d’assainissement, les centres de soin, les établissements éducatifs, servent à l’ensemble de la population..."

My first thought was "health centres" but I'm not sure this is wide enough (?) - in fact, I'm not sure it's right at all.
Context is infrastructure etc. in developing countries. TIA.
