Quality in health service this should take care of ur health needs

“Proposals are written from the perspective from the World Assembly, so it’s invalid to advise the WA to do something. Also, see GA 97 - Quality in Health Servics.”

What makes you think that any modern society will not have medical clinics and hospitals? Seriously, what?

Would say it is highly unlikely a city of more than 2000 people would not have a hospital. There would be problems and the market or politicians would fulfill this need as people get ill. If there r no hospitals in a dense area I'd hate to be the mayor in office.

"Ambassador, 2000 people is a relatively tiny town. Nowhere near what you can call a city. Towns like that wouldn't necessarily have emergency clinics, let alone hospitals."

Oops should have had that number much higher.

Any number would be entirely arbitrary and hamfisted, considering that the ideal number and frequency of hospitals within a member state would depend on population density, transportation infrastructure, quality of preventative medicine and distribution of independent practices, traffic safety, concentration of atmospheric carcinogens, and the patient capacity and number and variety of medical professionals at any given hospital.

Also, this is currently worded, the construction of just one city in just one member nation could actually be argued as enough to meet its requirements.

And nothing is said about actually staffing the hospital. And even if it did, and a nation goes on a hospital building binge, where do they magically get the staff?

Okay I see. I'm guessing frequency would refer to the hours of operation or quantity of work provided by the hostpital staff.

"Hello. I am Ambassador Twilight Sparkle of the Republic of Akila and I am here to review your proposal. While the sentiment expressed- that being a desire to increase healthcare availability- is admirable, the proposal lacks anything approaching details or laws upon which it can be achieved. It also doesn't seem to do anything previously not covered by previous legislation. As such, the Republic opposes this proposal. Have a Harmonious day."
