مستوصف / المستوصفات


Explanation:
if it is a small size then it should be: dispensary / dispensaries which in arabic is called مستوصف / المستوصفات
because usually that's what you have in village, there can't be a real size hospital in the village.

Rural health clinics


Explanation:
The chances of finding a hospital (relatively larger health facilitiy) in the countryside are next to none. I'd think a "health clinic" is more logical.
