Hospital

The hospital lowers disease within its reach. Residential areas without good care lose value. The building is under Hospital.

Construction

The hospital costs 1,200,000 $ and 60 metal. It comes first of all when power is distributed and needs 3 MW. Running costs start at 159 $ per hour without an emergency doctor, with the starting setup they come to 189 $, plus the treatments.

Staff and vehicles

You hire doctors directly, because some patients walk in as they would at a doctor's office. Paramedics and pilots come with the vehicles. A rescue helicopter also costs 150 chrome steel.

Patients and emergencies

• Patients make up most cases. Some have to be picked up by ambulance, the rest come by themselves. Older areas get sick more often.
• Emergencies happen in residential areas, more often in commercial areas and most often in industry. Each emergency has only 30 to 120 minutes, chosen at random.

How an emergency plays out

1. An emergency occurs on a tile. A red cross appears above the building.
2. From 22 tiles away a free rescue helicopter flies, otherwise the fastest vehicle drives.
3. The patient is picked up and brought to the hospital.
4. If an emergency doctor is free, treatment starts. Otherwise the patient waits. Without an emergency doctor a regular doctor only takes over after 60 minutes.
5. Treated in time, the patient is saved. Otherwise the patient dies, and that weighs heavily (Incidents and Failures).

Co-payment

Every treatment costs money, ambulance, helicopter and emergency doctor extra. With the slider you decide how much patients pay themselves, up to 50%. You save money, but the area's health drops and the reputation suffers. The hospital also takes a small flat fee per case.

Reach

With the first ambulance the hospital reaches 30 tiles, every further ambulance adds +5, every rescue helicopter +10. Premium adds 25%.
