-# Getting Started with Create React App
+# Medora Frontend
 
-This project was bootstrapped with [Create React App](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app).
+A modern React-based frontend for the Medora Medical Records Management System.
 
-## Available Scripts
+## Features
 
-In the project directory, you can run:
+- **Patient Management**: Create, view, and manage patient information
+- **Doctor Management**: Manage doctor profiles and specializations
+- **Appointments**: Schedule and manage medical appointments
+- **Medical Records**: Access and search patient medical records
+- **Billing**: Manage billing records and payment status
+- **Responsive Design**: Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices
 
-### `npm start`
+## Prerequisites
 
-Runs the app in the development mode.\
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) to view it in your browser.
+- Node.js (v14 or higher)
+- npm or yarn
 
-The page will reload when you make changes.\
-You may also see any lint errors in the console.
+## Installation
 
-### `npm test`
+1. Navigate to the frontend directory:
+```bash
+cd frontend
+```
 
-Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.\
-See the section about [running tests](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/running-tests) for more information.
+2. Install dependencies:
+```bash
+npm install
+```
 
-### `npm run build`
+3. Create a `.env` file in the frontend directory:
+```
+REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:8080/api
+```
 
-Builds the app for production to the `build` folder.\
-It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
+## Running the Application
 
-The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.\
-Your app is ready to be deployed!
+Start the development server:
+```bash
+npm start
+```
 
-See the section about [deployment](https://facebook.github.io/create-react-app/docs/deployment) for more information.
+The application will open at `http://localhost:3000`
 
-### `npm run eject`
+## Building for Production
 
-**Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you `eject`, you can't go back!**
+```bash
+npm run build
+```
 
-If you aren't satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can `eject` at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
+This creates a production-ready build in the `build` directory.
 
-Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except `eject` will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you're on your own.
+## Project Structure
 
-You don't have to ever use `eject`. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn't feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn't be useful if you couldn't customize it when you are ready for it.
