• Urgent Care Centres (CAU)
  Facilities open 7 days a week, with direct access and no appointment required, for low-complexity urgent needs. They offer medical consultations, certifications, on-demand pharmacological treatments, prescriptions, minor surgical procedures (sutures, dressings), and care for minor traumas.
