Strategy: Prevention is the best cure. Ensure a diverse food supply to maintain high citizen health. Build a Herbalist early to gather medicinal herbs and treat common ailments. As your population grows, a Hospital becomes crucial for treating more severe diseases. Place Wells strategically to provide clean water and help prevent fires, which can also contribute to poor health. If an outbreak occurs, ensure your Herbalist and Hospital are fully staffed and have a supply of herbs. Isolate affected areas if possible by limiting new housing construction nearby.
