Health Care Federations - Wolgos Healthcare
The Wolgos healthcare system is structured around tribal healthcare federations that provide comprehensive and advanced medical services to the Wolgos population. These federations are formed by pooling resources from multiple tribes, ensuring high-quality care across the board. The system is well-funded and equipped with top-of-the-line services and diagnostics, reflecting the advanced state of healthcare available to the Wolgos.
As the healthcare federations are funded directly from tribal profit and operational funding it is free to access for all Wolgos, though tribes may be billed by federations they are not members of if one of their tribe access care at a different federation. There are five major healthcare federations serving the Wolgos population: Wérus, Dhéghoviwos, Kúrogwenh1, Sowth2us, and Medhweid, the latter also serving the Sekwntos population. The function of these federations are purely administrative as they are tasked with the complete operation, procurement, funding and construction of facilities.
Wolgos individuals do not choose their healthcare federation; instead, they are linked to the federation of their tribe. This system ensures continuity of care and familiarity with patient histories. In emergencies, Wolgos can seek care from other federations, though their tribe will incur additional costs.
Primary Healthcare
Primary healthcare is delivered through well-equipped clinics within each federation. These clinics offer:
- General Practitioner Consultations with Comprehensive check-ups, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions.
- Preventive Care such Routine vaccinations, health screenings, and wellness programs.
- Prenatal, postnatal care and pediatric services, all which are services crucial for Hergom's pro-natal policies.
- Basic Laboratory Services like On-site blood tests, urine tests, and basic diagnostic imaging like x-rays and ultrasound.
- Immediate care for minor injuries, minor bone injuries and stabilization for more serious conditions before referral to secondary care facilities.
- Skin care and cancer prevention services, as albino skin is highly succeptible to sunlight injury.
Trauma Vans
Each federation operates trauma vans equipped to provide on-site emergency care. These vans are capable of handling:
- Basic Trauma Care like the treatment of broken bones, lacerations, and stitches.
- Minor Surgery procedures for injuries such as broken noses.
- Initial treatment and stabilization of patients who require ambulance transport to hospitals.
- The trauma vans ensure that urgent care is accessible across cities and rural areas, significantly improving emergency response times while reducing the strain on cinics and hospitals. These vans are essential as the more violence prone Wolgos can incur injuries at a higher rate than humans.
Secondary Healthcare
Secondary healthcare facilities within each federation provide specialized and more advanced care, including:
- Specialist Consultations with a wide range of specialists for complex health issues.
- Comprehensive trauma care services including surgery and intensive care.
- Obstetrics and Gynecology with advanced maternal care including high-risk pregnancies and childbirth.
- A broad range of surgical services including elective and emergency surgeries.
- Intensive monitoring and rehabilitation services following surgery.
- Facilities for patients requiring extended medical care and treatment.
- Full-fledged diagnostic capabilities including X-rays, MRIs, CT scans, and laboratory tests.
Tertiary Healthcare
For the most complex and specialized medical needs, Wolgos healthcare federations provide tertiary care through state-of-the-art hospitals and specialized centres. These services include:
- Complex surgeries such as organ transplants, neurosurgery, and cardiac surgery.
- Comprehensive cancer care including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgical oncology.
- Advanced heart care including interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery.
- Specialized care for neurological disorders and brain surgery.
- Advanced life support and intensive monitoring for critically ill patients.
- Comprehensive rehabilitation programs for recovery from severe injuries or surgeries.
GwoltH2us - Non-Wolgos Healthcare
GwoltH2us is a purely for-profit healthcare service established by a coalition of retired Wolgos doctors. The corporation employs primarily newly qualified doctors, most of whom are female, reflecting the customary practice in Hergom. To address labor shortages and reduce operational costs, GwoltH2us trains non-Wolgos nurses and assistants through its own nurse training program. This initiative is significantly supported by investments from thirteen Wolgos and Sekwntos tribes.
Non-Wolgos typically pay for medical services upon accessing the clinics, usually upfront. However, payment plans are available for emergency cases. Additionally, GwoltH2us offers prepaid packages where non-Wolgos pay a monthly fee to receive discounted healthcare when needed.
Primary Healthcare
Primary healthcare services are provided in small clinics located in neighbourhoods or small towns. Each clinic typically has one or two doctors assisted by nurses. The services offered include:
- Consultations: General health check-ups and diagnosis of common illnesses.
- Simple Treatments: Basic treatments for infections and minor conditions.
- Wound Care: First aid and suturing of minor cuts and lacerations.
- Emergency Minor Medical Interventions: Basic stabilization and referral for serious cases.
- Dispensary Services: Selling prescribed medicines directly to consumers.
Secondary Healthcare
Secondary care represents the most specialized level of care provided by GwoltH2us. Larger clinics offer access to:
- Specialist Doctors: Consultations with specialists in various fields.
- Emergency Trauma Care: Immediate care for serious injuries.
- Obstetrics: Comprehensive maternity care including delivery services.
- Surgical Interventions: Performing necessary surgeries.
- Post-Operative Care: Monitoring and care following surgical procedures.
- In-Patient Wards: Facilities for patients requiring longer-term care and treatment.
- Diagnostic Services: Access to X-rays and laboratory tests.
Limitations and Advanced Care
Due to its consumer base, GwoltH2us is largely unable to provide the advanced medical care available to the Wolgos. Chronic conditions such as cancer generally receive only palliative care for the majority of patients. However, the GwoltH2us Prewstalis Hospital has significantly expanded over the last two years and now offers advanced medical services almost on par with Wolgos hospitals, catering to the wealthiest and elite non-Wolgos of Hergom.
Facilities and Infrastructure
- Primary Clinics: Small, basic clinics for everyday healthcare needs, staffed by one or two doctors and nurses.
- Secondary Clinics/Hospitals: Larger facilities with specialist services, emergency care, surgical wards, and diagnostic capabilities.
- Prewstalis Hospital: A flagship facility providing advanced medical care for affluent non-Wolgos.
The establishment of GwoltH2us marks a significant leap forward in medical services for non-Wolgos, who, until the abolition of slavery and the founding of this corporation, had no formal access to healthcare. By offering a combination of basic primary care and more specialized services, GwoltH2us ensures that a broad segment of the population receives essential medical attention. The corporation's focus on cost-effective training and strategic investment has enabled it to extend its reach and provide critical healthcare services. The Prewstalis Hospital, in particular, stands out as a beacon of advanced care, bridging the gap for the wealthier non-Wolgos seeking high-quality medical treatment.
