What are healthcare services like in Clifden?

"Healthcare services in Clifden are generally of high quality, with a range of services available to residents and visitors. The town has a local health center that provides general medical services, including GP consultations, nursing services, and health education. There are also several pharmacies in the town where prescriptions can be filled and over-the-counter medications can be purchased.
