Hospitales, clínicas y consultorios médicos


Explanation:
That's the way I'd translate it.
Depending on the rest of the text, consultorios médicos could be substituted by dispensarios.

Explanation:
I'm a native Spanish speaker and haven't heard "instalaciones primarias, secundarias y terciarias". I think the term should be like this "Hospitales y consultorios". However, more context would be appreciated.

Hope it helps. Good luck
