Hi Mateusz Konieczny,

Thank You for writing to us.

1) The public healthcare system in India is organised into primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.
To describe the level of the health centers we have come up with adding the “description” tag after coming the more usage of the multiple usage of “healthcare=centre”.
We have updated our wiki page with the “description tag” Thank you bringing into our notice.

In detail understanding:
At the primary level are Sub Centres and Primary Health Centres (PHCs).
At the secondary level there are Community Health Centres (CHCs) and smaller Sub-District hospitals.
Finally, the top level of public care provided by the government is the tertiary level, which consists of Medical Colleges and District/General Hospitals.

2) Generally the Health center or community health center is one of a network of clinics staffed by a group of general practitioners and nurses providing healthcare services to people in a certain area.
Initially we have added the amenity=clinic along with the healthcare=center the PHC’s, CHC’s and SC’c, but after acquiring the depth knowledge on the health Centres in India we are using only “health care=center” for the same. The changes are also updated on the wiki page.

Thank you for sharing the wiki page link healthcare=centre and we will try to describe the usage of healthcare=center in the same page.

Have a great Day!
