00May I ask you what it means? I haven't found it in any 05100. It's not in the unabridged 05200 either (my institution is subscribed), but it's not that rare on the Internet 01i00(p. surgery, p. department, p. patients 02i00and so on).02br

0I'm not sure if it's more logically broken down as "polyclinic" + "al" (suffix "-al" is adjective-forming) or "poly" + "clinical". In the first case it would mean "of or relating to a polyclinic" (a polyclinic is a medical establishment that treats all sorts of different conditions). In the second case it would mean "of or relating to multiple different clinical procedures". 02br

10It's the same here (01i00"policlinico02i00," sort of comprehensive/general hospital -- noun), but we don't have an adjective for that. 02br
