The Health Security Service (Arvorian: Служба безопасности здоровья, SBZ) is the second arm of the healthcare system in Arvor, acting as the umbrella agency responsible for disease and epidemic prevention, medical research, biosecurity, and public health awareness. Unlike its sister agency, the State Health Service, however, the SBZ is a direct component of the Ministry of National Heath and encompasses the ministry's four primary operating agencies.

Functions

While Gosmed provides direct healthcare to the populace in the form of preventive, corrective, and surgical care, dental services, and optical services, the SBZ is responsible for the following activities within the national healthcare system:

  • Biomedical and public health research.
  • Disease control and prevention.
