The aim of secondary care is to provide specialized medical services and interventions that are not available at the primary care level. This includes diagnosis, treatment, and management of complex health issues by specialists, often following a referral from a primary care provider. Secondary care typically involves hospital-based services, outpatient clinics, and specialized diagnostic tests. Ultimately, it seeks to improve patient outcomes and ensure effective management of health conditions.

Specialist consultation procedures and hospital admissions fall into this category of care. These services are episodic and usually focused on a particular health problem. Continuity of care is less critical. Secondary Health Care is provided to a larger group of people from a larger geographic area than those served by Primary Health Care.
