Specialty Institutions sponsored by private patronages and Federal Government that are dedicated to medical research and provide high tech health services to the population paying what they can afford.

Public Hospitals that can be Federal, State or Municipal sustained. where health care and prescriptions have zero cost for anyone in need for the services.
