There are two public hospitals (City Medical Center; Crisis Medical Center) in the Central Night City area, as well as another seven in the Greater Night City Area. There are at least four private medical centers in the City as well, mostly catering to cyberwear installation, bodybanking and biosculpture work.
City information is provided for a nominal fee (1 eb/min) via Data Term. Data Terms are located on the corners of most ( 60%) City Streets, and can be used to access information, computer services, fax-mail and Net input.
Although much of Night City has been brought under Corporate control (these areas are known as the Corporate Zone and are heavily patrolled by hired security), pockets of urban blight still infest the Marina, Harbor and Lake Park districts. Crime in these Controlled Zones is kept in check by brutal security sweeps and constant surveillance. The South City is still a seedy ruin of cheap tract housing, spreading into an area so blighted, it is known as the Combat Zone.
Police in Night City are scattered, poorly equipped and badly managed. NCPD Cops can often be bribed or convinced that they just don't want to get involved. The most incorruptible people on the Force are in C-SWAT, the CyberPsycho Squad. Determined and dangerous, these mavericks and loners are just too crazy to care about being on the take.
