The constitution of Puertego specifically states that the government must offer free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also lots of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write prescriptions for them. However there have been attempts by the government to increase the quality by cracking down on corruption in the industry with much heavier monitoring of staff and administrators, additionally the government has begun building clinics in rural communities with no access to regular hospitals and also provides cheap clean drinking water and free vaccinations to all citizens with the latter being attributed to a large reason for the country almost eradicating certain diseases like Polio. The government spends around 7% of its annual budget on its healthcare system. In the nations hospitals there are 9 doctors per 10,000 citizens. | The constitution of Puertego specifically states that the government must offer free healthcare to all its citizens though the quality is notoriously poor with overcrowding meaning that often times patients have to share beds, unsanitary conditions, and long wait times, there is also lots of corruption in the government run healthcare with embezzlement being commonplace in the nation's hospitals and many patients reporting doctors demanding bribes to write prescriptions for them.

Technology has long been an area where Puertego has struggled to make a large impact in with many innovations coming from Puertego being made in areas such as mining equipment, it is thought that a large reason for this lack of technological innovation is a general lack of education in the country with higher level education for the most part being reserved for the upper class in Puertego. For this reason, Puertego is a large importer of new technologies though in recent years the large numbers of foreign companies investing in Puertego has brought the nation's manufacturing and energy sectors up to scratch with the rest of the world thanks to the governments payments to them for a more modernized infrastructure. | Technology has long been an area where Puertego has struggled to make a large impact in with many innovations coming from Puertego being made in areas such as mining equipment, it is thought that a large reason for this lack of technological innovation is a general lack of education in the country with higher level education for the most part being reserved for the upper class in Puertego.

Military technology has also been one area where Puertego has been rapidly improving with the countries latest Type-22 Torres missile being considered fairly top of the line and the Type-45 Heavy Tank having made many large advancements to the countries previous models, these advancements in military technology have primarily been attributed to the government offering very generous payments to any foreigner who has had previous experience with the technology of other countries militaries to come and work on the Puertegan militaries technology. | ||
