Theme Hospital Walkthrough Level 6 – Festering-On-The-Wold
This hospital has a decent layout and is fun to play, but watch out for epidemics as this place really is festering! Keeping your hospital very clean and shooting any rodents will help minimize epidemics. However, you are bound to encounter a few at least.
Be sure you have enough nurses to vaccinate patients and at least 2 pharmacies in a building connected to your diagnostic rooms to handle epidemic patients efficiently. For the time being, all epidemics will include only diseases treated in the pharmacy.
Building Your Festering-On-The-Wold Hospital
Starting on this level, it becomes necessary to have at least two GP’s and 2 Pharmacies to deal with the patient load and make quick work of epidemics. It is also important to build your diagnostic areas close to each other and your pharmacies in a connecting building to process patients quickly and prevent any epidemic patients from needing to walk outside (forcing word of the epidemic to get out early!).
I chose to build my diagnostic rooms in the main building and used the stand-alone building on the bottom right of the map to house my Research Department and Training Room. To start, build important rooms like the GP’s Offices, Psychiatric Office, Pharmacies, Facilities, and Inflation. You can always add and edit the placement of rooms as needed.
Hire Staff to fill those rooms and you are ready to go!
Minimum Recommended Staffing Requirements To Advance
16-20 Doctors
- At least one Psychiatrist
- At least one Researcher
- At least two Surgeons
You may need more doctors if you need to build extra GP Offices to deal with queues or extra clinics to handle emergencies. If you decide to build an extra Operating Theater, you will need at least 5 Surgeons on staff.
5 Nurses
15 Handymen
Handymen will need to be set to specialize in cleaning or maintenance. Make sure most of your quick, highly-skilled handymen are set to handle repairs and maintenance as earthquakes will occasionally be a factor. Others are needed to keep the corridors clean and reduce the risk of epidemics and vomit waves.
