The main purpose of ambulatory care is to provide timely, accessible, and comprehensive healthcare services to patients on an outpatient basis. Ambulatory care focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of medical conditions, without the need for overnight hospitalization. It aims to address the immediate healthcare needs of patients, promote disease prevention and health maintenance, and manage chronic illnesses. By offering services in an outpatient setting, ambulatory care allows patients to receive care in a more cost-effective and convenient manner, reducing the burden on hospitals and emergency departments.
