What is a Clinique privee?

A "Clinique privée" is a private medical clinic offering a range of specialized healthcare services outside of public hospitals. Typically, Clinique privée provide personalized treatment in a more comfortable, private environment, with shorter wait times and more direct access to healthcare professionals. Services can include general medical care, specialized consultations, diagnostic tests, surgery, and aesthetic treatments. Many "cliniques privées" focus on high-quality, patient-centered care and cater to individuals who seek privacy, flexibility, and convenience. They may also provide luxury services such as wellness programs, preventive healthcare, and rehabilitation. These clinics operate on a fee-for-service model, meaning patients usually pay out of pocket or through private insurance rather than relying on public health coverage.
