How to Find Healthcare Facilities Near You

FindHosi makes it easy to locate healthcare facilities in your area. This guide will walk you through the process of finding and filtering healthcare facilities based on your needs.

Getting Started

When you first open FindHosi, the application will request access to your location. Granting this permission allows FindHosi to show you healthcare facilities near your current position.

Using the Search Bar

The search bar at the top of the main page allows you to search for healthcare facilities by name, address, services, or specialties.

1. Type your query in the search bar (e.g., "cardiology," "pediatric clinic," or a specific hospital name).
2. Results will update automatically as you type, showing facilities that match your search.
3. You can clear your search by clicking the X icon that appears in the search bar.

Filtering Results

FindHosi offers several filtering options to help you narrow down your search and find exactly what you're looking for.

Distance Filter

The distance slider allows you to control how far from your location FindHosi should search for healthcare facilities.

• Adjust the slider to increase or decrease the search radius (from 1km to 50km).
• The map will update automatically to show facilities within the selected radius.
• If you don't see enough results, try increasing the radius to expand your search area.

Facility Type Filter

You can filter healthcare facilities based on whether they are public or private institutions.

• Public facilities are typically government-run hospitals and clinics.
• Private facilities are privately owned and operated healthcare institutions.
• Select "All Types" to see both public and private facilities.

Specialty Filter

The specialty filter allows you to find facilities that offer specific medical specialties or services.

• Select a specialty from the dropdown menu (e.g., Cardiology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics).
• Only facilities offering the selected specialty will be displayed in the results.
• To see all specialties again, select "All Specialties" from the dropdown.
