Ministry of Health

The Golden Empire's Ministry of Health was the government section tasked with ensuring that all citizens of the Empire had access to good-quality, affordable healthcare. As such, it had satellite offices on every member world of the Empire, and its agents routinely conducted audits and investigations of hospitals and medical centers, both preemptively and in response to citizen complaints.

The Ministry of Health also maintained a sizeable corps of physicians, which it dispatched to the warships and ground commands of the Glorious Armada of the Golden Empire as needed to supplement medical droids.

The Ministry of Health was also in charge of regulating the quality of bacta produced in the Empire, and thus had permanent quality assurance offices on Vos Khamida, Harth Gool, and Tebrejj. It also regulated other pharmaceutical drugs.

Further, the Ministry sponsored and funded medical technology research conducted at some of the Empire's universities; in this context, it sometimes worked side-by-side with the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The Ministry was led by the Chief Medical Officer, who was always a licensed doctor, and who sat on the Grand Council.
