Well, to put it simply, Clinics are small private or public health facilities offering limited health services and short term medical care, where as hospitals are large institutions with a large number of health services and providing long term care. I think, both can be interchangeably used. I mean to say, that you can call a clinic a hospital and vice versa, as long as that particular institution is not named so. For e.g. it would not be appropriate to call 'St. Johns Hospital' a clinic because it is named a hospital. To see detailed information about each you can see their respective wikipedia pages :-) Cheers.

simple answer maybe was: if this estalblishment bulilding is less than 5 rooms, that must be a clinic. in contrast, more than 5 rooms, it will be a hospital.

A clinic is more like a doctor's office. They can help you with flus, colds, and minor injuries. Not much else. Hospitals can do everything from burns to snake bites to delivering babies and healing broken bones. Essentially, hospitals are bigger and do much, much more.

I know why I like answering, Because I know too small. If I have illness, I will go to hospital, There has a lot of doctors and beds, If I got sick,I will go to clinic, There has some diagnosticians and without bed.
