The Royal Moorden Hospital (RMH), also known as Royal Moorden, is a prestigious world-class public research institution of medical sciences based in Arcerion. The modern campus contains over 50 medical institutions and has over 22,000 employees, making Royal Moorden the largest medical facility in Arcerion and one of the largest biomedical research and teaching hospitals in Crona.

The original Royal Moorden hospital was founded in 1883 by the Regimental Surgeon from the Royal Moorden Regiment, from which the hospital was later named for. Consistent investments from the Confederate Parliament as well as private donations from the wealthy elite and upper class in Kinnaird's social circles has allowed RMH to expand into an extremely high density of clinical facilities for patient care, basic science, and translational research.

RMH and its satellite facilities and schools are considered by the global medical community to be the founding institutions of modern medicine in Arcerion and the Occidental colonies of Crona. It pioneered many of the modern medical traditions and practices used around the world such as medical residencies, advanced surgical means through non-intrusive methods, biotechnology, and physical therapy. RMH also is a leader across the globe for neuroscience as well as trauma treatment. The attached facilities at the Royal Moodern Youth Medical Science centre pioneer services for children and infants in Arcerion, which have been actively contributing to Arcerion having the lowest infant mortlaity rate in Crona.

Royal Moorden ranks among the world's leading hospital and medical institutions. It has received the most awards in Crona as the leading hospital, and has been in the top five on the Cronan Medical Journal's Hospital Rankings since 1946, the longest continuous stretch of any hospital on the continent. The "original" Royal Moorden still recieves over 2.6 million patient encounters annually, while the broader RMH network recieves over 30 million.

Achievements

RMH has achieved some of the most advanced medical procedures in the world since its founding, including pioneering vaccine research and surgery through its Trauma centre.

In 1967 it performed the first lung transplant at the Moorden Trauma Centre, and followed this shortly with a full heart transplant in 1969 by the same surgical staff. It has also pioneered the science of human pregnancy through the Royal Moodern Youth Medical Science Centre, where it has used gene sequencing and other advanced test to detect birth defects in the first trimester and prevent most maternal and infantile mortality, dropping these rates across Ixnay. RMH also has a vaccine and biomedical research facility that has helped to fight every major disease and virus outbreak since the end of the Second Great War.

RMH's association with the Arcer Armed Forces has also benefitted its trauma centre, as it is nationally ranked as the leading trauma and intensive care hospital due to its surgery and recovery wards, helping to increase the survival of battlefield casualties due to its advances over five decades. The physical therapy ward also is a Cronan leader in advanced prosthetics and in collaboration with the biomedical facilities have begun to produce the first porotypes for electronic and sensory feedback prostheses in Ixnay that are commercially available, with the designs licensed and designed by companies in Levantia, Crona, and Sarpedon.

In 2008, RMH entered into a partnership with leading Caphirian robotics company GURA. They co-developed cutting-edge surgical robots, providing precise and minimally invasive surgeries for patients. The company's surgical robots became the gold standard in medical robotics, and over the next decade, GURA's robots were used in over a million surgeries worldwide. The two companies have collaborated numerous times since, developing tools for disabled people and pioneering medical robots.

Operations

The hospital occupies approximately fifty buildings across the campus' acreage with a fourth major wing (Military Medicine) dislocated and housed as part of the Kinnaird Garrison. The main campus regularly sees over 50,000 visitors weekly, and currently has a capacity of 6,000 beds staffed by over 2,000 doctors and physicians assistants, and 22,900 other staff such as nurses, physiotherapists, and specialized equipment operations (MRIs, CATSCANs, X-Ray Technicians).

Since 2023, more heart surgeries were performed at RMH than anywhere else in the world with 8,600 heart surgeries annually. 100,000 annual surgeries were performed. The RMH performed one surgery every three minutes.

Currently the four wings of the hospital are generalized into four divisions of medical science:
