Hospital Infection Rate Triples

BRIESK - The rate of patients contracting infections while staying at Morovia's patchwork hospital system has tripled in just three weeks, according to recent reports reviewed by the Royal Hospital Trust. Morovia has a system of private non-profit hospitals, many of which were once subsidized through generous government support. However, in the absence of the Royal Assembly, it has not been appropriated funds since 2006.

Since that time, conditions have deteriorated significantly and a spokesperson for the Trust said there were fears that the recent spike in infection is only the beginning of a series of problems resulting from a lack of funding for Morovia's health care infrastructure.

The Royal Hospital Trust was established by leading opponents of the government's 2001 decision not to enact universal health care. The Trust is responsible for the maintenance of six regional hospitals in Briesk, Valois, Gotha, Strausbourg, Leben, and Malbun. Conspicuously, the King serves as Honorary President.
