Battenburg is the final level of the game. All rooms are (eventually) available. Buying all the rooms is a requirement for passing this level. The helicopter pad is postioned just below and to the right of the middle area that is open at the beginning of the game.

Strategy

It is possible to comfortably beat this level without buying any of the outer 9 buildings, until all other requirements are met, then buying all of them to beat the level. Ignoring the entrances to these outer buildings allows you to build rooms across entrances, blocking them.

The central building should, eventually, be used solely for reception, waiting area, toilets, and initial GP rooms. To begin, these should be placed here, but other spaces can be filled with a staff room and research or training. These will be moved further away as the requirement for initial GP rooms, increases. The 6 deep corners of this building are suitable for small 4x4 GP rooms, with 4 inward facing chairs in front. Compartmentalising waiting areas helps minimise epidemic spread.

The two buildings immediately to the side of the central room can be used primarily for clinics as these buildings are the closest to the helicopter pad. Diagnostic rooms can be placed in the large triangular buildings, farther away. The two triangular buildings, being diagnostic areas, should each have one GP room to avoid the return of patients to the intial GP area.

Initial contruction can be focused on only one side, minimising intial cost of building purchase. As more rooms are researched, the opposite two buildings can be purchased, and rooms moved across.

It's important to build a research room during intial construction, and focus research on clincs. Most turnaways are due to not having the required clinic.

While the common tactic is to build a toilet in every building, space can be saved by building one at the bottom of each triangular building. These, plus one in the initial area, are placed sufficiently close to all waiting areas.

If you wish to double up on all clinics then additional buildings will have to be bought. There should be space for two or three clincs to be doubled up in the existing building areas.

As with recent missions, after the first few months of hiring doctors, the majority of new doctors available will be juinior's, so it is important to start training at a reasonably early stage. After your income can afford the added wages.
