+====== MEDICAL STATION OF NEW KOUROU (GAMMA AGE) ======
 ===== Overview =====
-  * **Location:** NE Thoreau Road 4, Public Services Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
+  * **Location:** Public Services Ring, [[new_kourou|New Kourou]]
-  * **Surroundings:** Adjacent to the Federal Hospital and connected by a tunnel under Harmony Boulevard.
+  * **Address:** NE Public Services Ring Road 2
+  * **Surroundings:** Adjacent to the [[federal_library_of_new_kourou|Federal Library of New Kourou]]; connected via secured service tunnel to the **Federal Hospital of New Kourou** (in-patient & specialist care).
-The Medical Station of New Kourou is the primary healthcare institution for the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]], playing a central role in the [[federal_health_care_system|Federal Health Care System]] (FHCS). Established in 2626 as part of the [[human_settlement_plan_hsp|Human Settlement Plan]], it operates under the [[federal_health_agency|Federal Health Agency]] and offers a wide range of medical services, integrating [[medical_bots|Medical Bots]] and nanotechnology to provide advanced healthcare despite energy constraints.
-The Medical Station is the only facility legally permitted to use Medical Bots, making it a crucial center for [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] medicine in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]].
+Established in 2626 under the [[human_settlement_plan_hsp|Human Settlement Plan]] and reorganized in 2632 with the creation of the [[federal_health_agency|Federal Health Agency (FHA)]], the Medical Station of New Kourou is the outpatient core of the [[federal_health_care_system|Federal Health Care System (FHCS)]]. It delivers triage, diagnostics, emergency stabilization, immunization, and nano-assisted outpatient treatments.
+Per Section 13 of the [[civil_code|Civil Code]], healthcare is free for all citizens who comply with mandatory screenings and immunizations. Advanced energy-intensive procedures (full nanosurgery, oncology protocols, long-term recovery) are concentrated next door in the Federal Hospital. Medical Bots —the only legally operating bots in the [[the_gamma_age|Gamma Age]]—may only be used in New Kourou (Medical Station & Federal Hospital) under FHA oversight.

-  * **Vaccination Center:** Administers mandatory and optional immunizations as per the Federal Health Agency’s directives.
+===== Look and Feel =====
-  * **Health Education:** Public awareness programs on preventive healthcare and hygiene.
-==== Psychological Services (Located in the Federal Hospital Building): ====
+From the outset (late Beta Age), the New Kourou Medical Station was built to a standardized starship-clinic spec — not a stopgap. The Gamma Age keeps that continuity: clean salvage surfaces, serial-stamped bulkhead ribs, and ship-grade consoles are consistent and orderly, framed by color-coded trims (white = ER, blue = Diagnostics, green = General Medicine) and clear floor arrows that lead patients through short loops (intake → scan → treat → discharge, or intake → stabilize → tunnel transfer).
-  * **Psychotherapy and Counseling:** Mental health support, crisis intervention, and therapy for trauma survivors.
+Illumination mixes low-draw fixtures with baseboard bands of [luminofera|Luminofera dualis]], giving a soft, even glow without hotspots; night mode dims to corridor edges while keeping treatment bays at clinical luminance. The air carries a precise antiseptic note; HVAC cycles are timed to procedure rhythms, with auto-sterile pulses in ER and scanner rooms. Sound is muted — door gaskets, hush-panels, and cushioned casters on Medical Bots keep the acoustic profile calm.
-==== Pharmacy: ====
+Visual language is FHA-standard: discreet iconography for zones and custody chains (dispensary, nano lab), analog redundancy labels beside GAIA terminals, and unambiguous hazard chevrons at tunnel checkpoints. Seating, counters, and gurney rails follow the same ship-hospital ergonomics seen since late Beta Age: durable, wipe-clean, and unornamented. Overall, the station reads as disciplined, repeatable, and energy-aware — a continuous design philosophy from Beta into Gamma, refined rather than reinvented.
-  * *Dispenses medications prescribed by physicians, managed by a Medical Bot.
+===== Roles and Responsibilities =====
-===== Medical Bots: The Backbone of the FHCS =====
