CLSCs, which on average serve a population of 40,000 people, monitor all births in their district. Nurses visit all new mothers and, in poorer neighbourhoods, all expectant mothers. The public health clinics offer a wide array of services under the same roof, though they are adapted to each neighbourhood. They can include homecare, marriage counselling, prenatal classes, nutrition teaching, daycare and even soup kitchens. It gives you a much more positive view of health care.
