The Republic Health Administration was the government organization responsible for overseeing the Galactic Republic's medical facilities, studies, and resources. Based on the Republic's capital world of Coruscant, the Administration appointed a new acting head in 3642 BBY—a doctor who had developed a cure for the low-grade flesh-eating virus known as Zabrak Scalp Necrosis. His appointment prompted scorn from one of the doctor's former classmates, Archiban Kimble, as the man's poor medical skills and low intelligence had been notorious during their time at the First Republic Medical Academy of Coruscant, the University of Coruscant's medical program.
The Administration was first mentioned in the 2011 BioWare–LucasArts video game Star Wars: The Old Republic, during the conversation "Opportunity Knocks" with the Jedi Knight class' companion character Archiban Kimble, known in-game as "Doc."
