Definition
诊治 combines diagnosis and treatment into one verb — it covers the whole clinical process of examining a patient and providing medical care. Unlike English, you don't say 诊断和治疗 for the routine sense; 诊治 is the standard compound in medical contexts. Use it for doctors treating patients in a hospital or clinic setting.
v.
to diagnose and treat (a patient or illness)
