Here is my guess:
Primary care: The first place you take someone who is sick, newborn or injured.
Secondary care: The place where a patient can go to recuperate in which there is nursing care, but no operating ward, X-Ray machine. there are wellness facilities such as exercise rooms, reading rooms, massage rooms, and cafeteria facilities. Patients are staying in their own rooms.
Tertiary care: The patients need special care and are not expected to leave the facility. They are dying or unable to care for themselves outside. The facility includes medical care, but not operating rooms. Minimal emergency functions are present to handle choking, falling, and nutritional problems including those needing IV support. We used to call them 'Old Folks homes.' But modern tertiary care facilities should be much more than that. With HIV, they need to be more than that.
;-D Be well and prosper.
