Hospitals & Cybernetics

In Syn City, health care is a spectrum: the destitute patch themselves up in filthy clinics while the rich replace organs like parts in a machine. Insurance is a gamble, cyberware is common and medicine is big business.

MediTech

  • Mid‑tier provider catering to Syn’s middle and upper classes.
  • Operates sleek, modern hospitals staffed by experienced surgeons.
  • Offers decent care at reasonable prices, including elective cybernetics.
  • Persistent rumours of organ theft and unethical experiments haunt its reputation.

Core Care

  • The baseline health system funded by government subsidies and insurance premiums.
  • Long lines, crowded waiting rooms and scarce resources are the norm.
  • Treatment is basic but keeps most workers functional enough to return to their jobs.
  • Cyberware upgrades are rudimentary—simple prosthetics and low‑end neural ports.

Kaze’s Life Insurance

  • Popular among those working dangerous jobs—freelancers, mercenaries and dock workers.
  • Sells cheap, short‑term policies with the promise of direct access to approved clinics.
  • Marketing campaigns feature the charismatic Justin Kaze and the catchphrase “When in doubt, call Justin Kaze!” plastered across billboards and holo‑ads.
  • Coverage is limited and heavily conditional; claims adjusters are notorious for refusing payouts on technicalities.

Back‑Alley Clinics

  • Illegal cyberdocs operating in dim garages and abandoned warehouses.
  • They replace limbs and organs with scavenged or stolen parts at cut‑rate prices.
  • Conditions are unsanitary; infections, glitches and rejection are common consequences.
  • Despite the risks, these clinics are often the only option for poor residents and gang members.

Cybernetic Innovations

  • Cutting‑edge clinics tied to megacorps such as Cynder and CoreAI.
  • Specialize in SOUL implants, nanotech organs, neural augmentation and experimental cyberware.
  • Treatments are expensive and require extensive screening and contracts, sometimes including non‑disclosure agreements.
  • Results can be spectacular—patients leave with enhanced reflexes, improved cognition and extended lifespans.
