outpatient unit/ward/clinic/center


Explanation:
I'll pitch in with this suggestion. You can use either unit, ward, clinic, or even center (see link for example from Intermountain Healthcare, the larges hospital chain in Utah where I live). I don't think it's really necessary to call it a "medical" outpatient clinic, even if the Danish has it in there; the text mentions that it is at a hospital, so it's pretty obvious that it is a place for medical care.
