English term
public health center

Medical (general)
Hello everyone,
· Identifies specific agencies where victims or witnesses of domestic violence may report the occurrence, such as nearest police station, public health center or district court. (Chapter II, Article 9)
http://www.coe.int/t/dghl/standardsetting/violence/Albanian ...
1. In the occurrence of a domestic violence act, the victim may address a request to the
nearest police unit (to their residence or wherever they are), to their local government
unit (municipality, commune), to **public health centre** in their residence or wherever
they are situated or file a petition at the district court of their permanent or temporary
residence or that of the perpetrator, to take the necessary measures.
Does "public" imply state-owned (i.e. not private) or does "public" refer to "health", not to "center"?
Thank you.

Just a note about Donna's response below. I think she may be thinking of the government health department with branches set up in hospitals to control infectious diseases if a country-wide inoculation campaign is required quickly. See under the first link above on left side "public health" but here I certainly think that these are just health centres where a variety of services are offered, including "normal" inoculation. In any case , both are run by the government Health Department

A center for "public health"
Many types of health-care centers can be run by the government. But in this case, this is a center devoted to the field of "public health", which includes vaccinations, hygiene, care of infants and small children, issues relating to contraception and sexually-transmitted diseases, domestic violence, etc.

: Called in English "Health Centre". If you actually looked at the links I posted you'd see you're just giving the same answer but wrong term. What is a "health centre" if not for public health?

"Public Health" is a specific sub-field in the area of health care. It is a specialty field for nurses and doctors. I am not using the same answer but wrong term. Health centers can be for other care, such a seeing a GP. Definitely NOT the same.
