🚀 Project 20: Hospital Management System
A Hospital Management System is a comprehensive full-stack application that helps hospitals manage patients, doctors, appointments, medical records, billing, and reports. It is one of the most practical portfolio projects because it demonstrates authentication, role-based access, scheduling, CRUD operations, dashboards, and secure data management.
This project is similar to systems used by hospitals and clinics to streamline their daily operations.
