## Resource Profile: AMK Core Patient Profile

The AMK Core Patient Profile inherits from the FHIR [Patient](https://hl7.org/fhir/R5/patient.html) resource; refer to it for scope and usage definitions. This profile sets minimum expectations for the Patient resource to record, search, and fetch core patient information within the Nepal health system. It specifies which core elements, extensions, vocabularies, and value sets SHALL be present and constrains how the elements are used. By providing a standardized foundation for capturing patient demographics, identifiers, and key health attributes, this profile promotes interoperability, consistent data capture, and adoption across national health programs 

**Usages:**

* Refer to this Profile: [AMK Core Immunization Profile](StructureDefinition-amk-core-immunization.md) and [AMK Core Medication Dispense Profile](StructureDefinition-amk-core-medication-dispense.md)
* Examples for this Profile: [Patient/patient-child](Patient-patient-child.md) and [Patient/patient-pregnant](Patient-patient-pregnant.md)
