DOCTOR'S CLINIC AND HOSPITAL

octor's clinics are small and employ few staff. They train doctors, and send them out to check up on the health of the people living nearby. Their role is completely preventative, and they are quite successful most of the time at keeping disease from breaking out.

Hospitals are larger than clinics, and employ more staff. They are needed if, despite your best health policies, disease does break out. One hospital cures a small number of people at a time, which should be ample for small city populations. Larger cities need more hospitals. Your Health Advisor will tell you if you need more hospitals.

If hospitals do not have their full allocation of staff, they can only cure a reduced number of patients. For every member of staff they are missing, they are able to cure one less patient.

Clinics do not affect the desirability of an area. Hospitals have a minor negative effect on the desirability of the immediate area, probably due to the smell and presence of diseased people.
