Medical
Medical capability is handling injury, illness, and health needs without relying entirely on outside systems.
Why It Matters
Delays in care change outcomes. When services slow down or get expensive, small issues become bigger ones.
How It Works
Most people rely on clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies. It works when access is easy. Less so when systems are strained.
Where It Breaks
Wait times increase. Costs rise. Access narrows.
You’re left managing more of your own care.
