Airport Hospitals: A New Trend


Typically, we could found hospitals at a specific place and site in our community. However, nowadays, hospitals have a drastic change that we could find medical office and people in lab coats and sphygmomanometer at the airports wherein there are indeed incidental patients and people that needed medical help.
Like a typical doctor’s office, most airport medical facilities have a waiting area and exam room with x-ray services and vaccinations available. They’re staffed by a physician in lab coats, physician’s assistant or nurse practitioner with sphygmomanometer. While most of these centers don’t offer prescription meds on site, the medical personnel can write you a prescription and some are even open 24 hours.
Here are some of the airports with medical offices and hospitals for the safety of their passengers.
