Duckworth-upon-Bilge

"And now to Duckworth-upon-Bilge, where recent financial struggles have hit public services particularly hard, so if you're planning to get sick, or undergo any operations, I suggest you do that somewhere else. It'll take a resourceful mind and a confident hand to sort out this mess. Any volunteers?"

- Ricky Hawthorn

Duckworth-upon-Bilge is the third hospital in World 3 of Two Point Hospital. To unlock it, the player will need to reach Star Level 1in both Smogley and Melt Downs. Duckworth-upon-Bilge is notable for its funding system, which comes almost entirely from meeting public targets, since diagnoses, treatments and facilities are provided to patients without requiring payment.

Of note is the introduction of epidemics, in the form of the Abominable Curse. A new clinic illness, 8-bitten, will make its first appearance, as well as the Resolution Lab, in which it can be treated.

Duckworth Hospital, one of the few remaining public hospitals, has lost its administrator. Lord Foxbridge has proposed that we help run this public hospital. Could be good for us. Nudge nudge, wink wink.'' ''If we can meet the Ministry's targets we'll receive some of the County's healthcare budget, but we won't receive income from any diagnosis, treatment or retail. This could be interesting... ' ''

Public Targets
This hospital introduces Target Challenge Mode to the game. In this mode, income is not granted for diagnoses, treatments and income-providing items such as vending machines; instead, Lord Foxbridge will issue Public Targets for the player to achieve, with corresponding monetary rewards and reputation increases.

At the outset of the level, one Public Target is issued at a time, beginning with the two described above. As the hospital level increases and star levels are achieved, the number of concurrent missions will reach two, and eventually three. More lucrative missions will appear with progress. It should be noted that Public Targets will not be issued if their conditions have already been met. For example, if the player's hospital has an overall attractiveness rating of 85%, they will not be asked to reach "Hospital Attractiveness of 70%".

Potential missions will include the following: VIP visits and emergencies will still grant their normal monetary rewards, provided that the player fulfills the necessary challenges.

Illnesses Encountered
Below is a list of illnesses that will appear in Duckworth-upon-Bilge, and the rooms that will be required to treat them. Illnesses may arrive as a general admittance, on an emergency-only basis , or possibly both.

The icon with a number next to it, represents how many patients can be expected if this illness appears in emergencies.

Illnesses with a Star Level (,or) next to them will only appear after that Star Level has been achieved. 1 Since Headcrabedness is a rarer variant of Lightheadedness, and not its own illness, any patient, normal or VIP, may have it instead.
