Match the exact HCODE record
The Ministry of Public Health HCODE search exposes a health-service unit's name, code, province, facility type and status. Use those fields together to corroborate the identity of a clinic or hospital rather than relying on a similar business name or a general map listing.
HCODE can be searched or filtered, and its documentation says the system covers both public and private health-service units. Keep the exact name and province aligned with the facility you intend to contact; a record for a different unit does not verify the premises in front of you.
Understand the registry and code scope
HCODE's about page identifies the responsible Ministry group and explains the transition from older 5- or 9-digit codes to a newer mixed-format 9-character code system. That helps when an older document and the current registry show different code formats: match the facility name, province, type and status as well as the code instead of discarding one record by format alone. The documentation says existing units retain their older codes when new legacy-code issuance stops; the transition does not itself invalidate an existing record.
The registry is useful for administrative identity, type and status. It is not presented as a quality ranking or a clinical decision tool. Do not turn a valid code into a claim that one facility is better than another or appropriate for a particular medical problem.
Use the separate HSS list cautiously
The Department of Health Service Support provides a separate searchable list for private hospitals and clinics. The 14 September 2026 browser retry returned a gateway timeout, so current results remain unconfirmed. Retry the official service or obtain official confirmation before relying on this check.
A second official surface can help corroborate a private facility, but a technical warning must not be hidden or interpreted as a negative result for the facility. If the service does not work, keep that verification step incomplete and use HCODE plus direct official contact rather than inventing a status.
Confirm practical care details directly
A registry record does not prove that the facility is open now, offers a needed specialty or language, accepts a particular insurer, has current staff available or will charge a particular price. Ask the exact facility about those facts for the time and service required.
This workflow is not triage and does not assess whether a symptom can wait. For an emergency, use the separate checked emergency pathway rather than spending time comparing registry records. No hospital or clinic is ranked or recommended on this page.
