Theme Hospital Hints

How do I prevent epidemics?

  • 1 of 6: Think of the conditions in which diseases thrive.
  • 2 of 6: Moist, dark, dank, dirty, garbage-filled, vermin-infested places.
  • 3 of 6: Obviously this is exactly what you don't want in your hospital.
  • 4 of 6: Particularly two of the above.
  • 5 of 6: Garbage is at the bottom of this.  Keep garbage off the ground by employing enough handymen to clean it up.
  • 6 of 6: Cleaning up garbage also prevents rats from infesting your hospital.  Rats are one of the main factors in epidemic uprisings, somewhat reminiscent of the Black Plague.  Also if you see any rats, click-kill them and immediately stick a handyman on the leftover mess.
