Clinics

Synth Clinics or Hospitals refer to establishments within which Synths can receive medical services, also called synthetic medicine. Clinics are often found in smaller neighbourhoods, while hospitals are more common around larger population centers. Hospitals, which provide services for Organics as well as Synths, often contain at least one wing exclusively devoted to synthetic medicine.

Clinics are either owned publically or privately. Most Clinics are publically funded institutions and provide healthcare free at the point of service. Private clinics exist first and foremost for the installation and maintenance of consumer products and are typically run by the company producing the products. Producers of Synth modules often have small clinics attached to their boutiques.

It is important to differentiate between clinics and workshops. Workshops are places of engineering, whereas Synth clinics are places of treatment for living Synths. You can read more about this under Synth Dignity.
