A lightweight and efficient Hospital Management System implemented in C. This project demonstrates the power of structured data and binary file handling to manage patient records with persistence.
- ➕ Add Patient: Register new patients with a unique ID and medical history.
- 📋 View All Patients: Display a formatted list of all records stored in the system.
- 🔍 Search Patient: Quickly find specific patient details using their unique ID.
- 🗑️ Delete Patient: Remove records from the system permanently.
- 💾 Persistent Storage: Data is saved in a binary file (
patients.dat), so your information isn't lost when you close the program.
The system uses a custom struct to ensure data integrity for every entry:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
id |
int |
Unique Patient ID |
name |
string |
Full name of the patient |
age |
int |
Age of the patient |
gender |
string |
Patient's gender |
disease |
string |
Diagnosed condition |
- A C compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang, or MinGW)
