Health care is provided in Pharaoh to both the living and the dead. Every city has a level of general health, determined by the number of health buildings active in the city. Each health building sends out its own type of provider who grants the health care services to housing units as they pass. The greater number of health care services, combined with the amount and types of food each house has, determines the general health level for an entire city. If the health level drops too low, a plague will hit the city causing much death and a sharp decline in the population. The primary health care buildings are:

Building	Description	Service Provider
Well	Provides a crude source of water for those who live in the immediate vicinity	None
Water Supply	Provides a water carrier who takes fresh water to nearby homes. Normal wells send out one water carrier while elegant wells send out two.	Water Carrier
