'''Rakeo Iron Fever''' is caused virus carried by some species of mice and other rodents. It causes fever, rash, fatigue, and in rare cases, hemorrhaging. It was first experienced by iron miners. However, the number of suitable rodent carriers is low, and only 10 to 20 cases are reported yearly. Prior to the advent of modern medical techniques, the disease had a mortality rate of nearly 50% of those infected, but with modern symptom management, fatalities are rare.

Healthcare in Rakeo is administered at a national level to citizens by the Directory of Medicine and Care. Care for noncitizens is either performed illegally at state-owned hospitals or clinics, or within private medical practices which are unrelated and potentially hazardous.

History

Post 1980s

Due to isolationist policies, Rakeo's healthcare standards fell far behind the rest of the world. When these policies began to be reformed, two industries sprung up in response. The upper class of Rakeo is a frequent costumer of tourist medical procedurals abroad which can not be safely obtained locally, or are not of modern quality. Because both salaries and regulation is lackluster in Rakeo, doctors offer care at extremely low rates (that does not have the same protections as normal medical procedures).
