Общая площадь медицинских помещений - более...

Как эти "медицинские помещения" перевести? Не могу подходяще выражение подобрать... medical rooms? - это вроде как кабинеты больше medical facilities - учреждения

У нас речь идет о помещениях медицинского назначения,  выделяемых из общей площади мед учреждения

'the total area occupied by the medical facilities is (in excess of/more than) x square (meters/metres*)

or

'the medical facilities (cover/occupy) a total area of more than x square (meters/metres)'

or

'the medical facilities (cover/occupy) an area (totaling/totalling*) more than x square (meters/metres)'

* meters (US Eng), metres (UK Eng)

* totaling (US Eng), totalling (UK Eng)

Note also that Americans still tend to use imperial measures (inc square feet) rather than square meters, although 'square meters' will probably be understood.

No, square feet/yard, but never meters.

clinical and clinical support spaces

OK. You Americans are just behind the times! Until 40+ years ago we Brits used imperial measurements only, but have increasingly become 'metricated' under the influence of Europe. Scientists were amongst the first to 'go metric'. Strangely some things here are still expressed in imperial measurements, though -- like drinks in pubs (always served in pints, half-pints etc), and distances on road signs, which are still expressed in miles/yards -- never kilometres. Irish and Australian road signs have gone metric, though.

They have been trying here for decades but it doesn't work. When my colleagues see military time, they use fingers to calculate what does it mean in "normal" American time. However, I can tell you that in all medical documents person's height and weight are measured in centimeters and kilograms.

It's the same here with medical staff -- they now use the metric system too. But ordinary Americans still tend to give their own (body) weight in pounds (lbs), don't they?

Here, ordinary Brits tend to express their own weight in stones (1 stone = 14 pounds) and pounds (lbs) rather than just in pounds. So ......

10 lbs (US) = 10 lbs (UK)

20 lbs (US) = 1 st 8 lbs (UK)

30 lbs (US) = 2 st 2 lbs (UK)

and so on.

So whereas an American will say "I weigh 179 lbs", Brits will express the same weight as "12 st 11 lbs".

I found out about " stones" just recently. It was an article in Yahoo, and probably they copy-pasted from British tabloid without bothering to write in pounds.
