Medical Laboratory
Located at the Science Department compounds, the Medical Laboratory is the most famous of all departments of the Science Department. Its various programs and breakthroughs have greatly contributed to the healthcare system on Ymir, and its scientists have been widely praised for their treatments of Black Lung. Though not infallible, the Laboratory is essential to humanity's survival on Ymir, and its scientists are well aware of their burden.
Asides from the Black Lung treatments, another revered accomplishment of the Laboratory is the steps they have made with organ cultivation. This has greatly improved the quality of life on Ymir, far beyond the level its population was familiar with back on Earth. All Laboratory accomplishments are empowered by that the Medical Laboratory is authorised to employ 30% of the Science Department's AI capacity.
Pathogens & Cures
Even before humanity first set foot on Ymir, drones and mobile labs helped capture and analyse its pathogens. Ever since, every substance and pathogen on Ymir have been analysed for their impact on humans, plants, and animals. Special outfits and equipment were developed to help capture samples, and containment procedures are in place to prevent any outbreaks. Drones frequently investigate changing conditions, and Homesteaders are the first in line to help test vaccines. Homesteaders also help verify what food is safe to consume. Any time this analysis exposes a threat, scientists immediately start on developing cures. At the same time, they also work on treatments and cures for known medical conditions. Boons of this research vary from cancer treatments and improved prosthetics, to better allergy medicine and various Rations optimised for each age group.- 20% financial resources

I like the way their health system is so efficient :D Regarding the organs, have they found a way to make the attachment of an organ works better with less risk of rejection? I imagine they could change the DNA of the organ they want to grow to adapt it to every patients, but that would take a while and prevent them from growing them in batches...
I imagine they have a variety of as-universal-as-possible organs at hands, don't know the precise science involved. But yeah, the idea is that organs are variable enough that they just need a few tweaks to really make the organ suit you. In the very worst case where someone's body is special enough to reject, they'd have to decide whether to put in a temp, use machines, or medicine, while a specially-adapted one is grown for you.

Basically it's like blood group but a lot more complex. People have to be compatible so that no rejection occur, and even with that they need to take immuno suppressant for the rest of their lives to avoid their body over reacting and rejecting the new organ. My first thought is that that would be really bothersome with your black lung disease, because even if you're vaccinated it's useless if your body can't fight... If you want to add details later, something about having managed to make the organ fully fit each person DNA would be the best I think, as it would avoid the use of those medications.
