## Overview

This is a small command-line hospital patient-record program. The principal workflow is selecting a menu action to add, find, delete, count, or display patient records held in an in-memory linked list. The README only names the project; the sampled C source supports these operations, but omitted lines limit certainty about some function details.

Main entry points: [`Application.c`](https://github.com/candida18/hospital-management-system/blob/main/Application.c) (Menu loop)
