Healthcare
The first line of healthcare in Granmont is operated by Church of the Golden Flame such as Hospital of St Giochinno and Providence Sanatorium. With divine magic available healing is provided to the faithful at little or no cost. However with affordable healthcare being tied to church affiliation the practitioners of other regions, no religions, and even devotees excommunicated for political reasons are strongly disadvantaged. Such individuals are forced to take on the additional burden of trying their luck at private doctors or apothecaries, at sometimes great cost. Most doctors in Granmont operate private practices. House calls are common, and these doctors are often on first name basis with their patients, being respected pillars of their local communities. As a result the quality of medical care one receives is often dependent on their wealth and the nature of their local doctor, with some doctors willing to see pro bono cases and others requiring a retainer fee before you can even be seen.Sanitation
As with any city historically, the biggest issue is "what to do with all the poop?" Contamination can lead to cases of cholera, listeria, and ecoli, and with an already strained healthcare system outbreaks can be fatal for many. Attempts are made to separate waste from drinking water. Many neighborhoods have channels or sewers to divert the worst of it away from populated areas. Beyond this, sanitation of water systems is performed. Camino Sewage System under Fortune Hill has a macrobiome of oozes and fungi that bread down and neutralize organic material. The sanitation station at Confluence of Rivers similarly leverages gelatenous cubes to clean the Black River. Mechanical purification systems like this are operated by Department of Infrastructure advocati. More discrete water supplies like wells, cisterns, and ponds are regularly purified divinely by clerics with the Church's Order of Eleemosynars
