Branch

Branch links a health institution to the field of health work it operates in. Wikipedia notes that the World Health Organization "coordinates responses to international public health issues and emergencies," placing it squarely within the public health branch rather than clinical medicine. This dimension groups institutions that work within the same branch of health.
