The best strategy that you need to aim for is to have no more than 1 (!) room of each type. The only exception is the GP's office which you can have 2 of, but many people have 1 of that as well. You need to get as many special doctors as you can but that doesn't mean you should buy lots of diamonds. I think I only bought diamonds once. Why is it so important? You need as many doctors as you can that have around 100% effeciency so that they serve the patient within 1 second. For that you need to get good equipemt (red and orange) and open equipment slots (do that only for orange and red, the ones below that are a waste of diamonds) and randomly get perfect or near perfect effeciency and ability as well as level up the doctors. The special doctors will normally have higher effeciency so it's easier to get them to 100 efficiency unlike standard doctors.

The easiest doctor for that is Dr Weird, whose default effeciency is higher than that of any other doctor. He's also not very expensive. The second doctor to look out for is Einstein. Get him to 100% and place in the gp's office and you'll always have a doctor there.

Place the best doctors to the diagnosis rooms leaving treatment for the weaker ones. The logic behind that is that diagnosis rooms, especially the GP's office and general diagnosis, are visited by almost every patient while the treatment rooms only get certain limited types of patients.

You will also get 2 free special doctors eventually if you watch 5 commercials every day (lucio and angel; angel is very good, get her first) and Bobby for logging in for 30 days who like Einstein has infinite energy. You can also get free doctors from events (like Yu and Go from the recent Easter event) but for more doctors you will need to collect diamonds, these you can get from watching 10 commercials every day, being in a union that places top 10 at the tournament (the final reward is diamonds), getting tournament awards, spinning the roulette, passing helicopter stages (on higher stages only).

When hiring standard doctors make sure that on level 1 they have the stats described in the article. However note that out of all the nurses the only nurse that has these stats is Florence. The rest, including Ashley, have less energy. If staff has less than 120 they will keep going to the staff room all the time.

Anyway, by having fewer doctors and fewer rooms that are kept within the same building you will also have fewer patients in the hospital at a taken time. This will help you keep a steady, but smaller flow of patients, avoid big queues, long walks and constant deaths. While I had 3 rooms of every diagnosis type, I had around 115 patients at the hospital (at Normal), they got unhappy and they died, Death came by on a regular occasion to kill more. Once I got 5 doctors to 100% effeciency and removed all the extra rooms leaving normal doctors only in the treatment rooms my hospital got way more effecient, clean, I stopped having problems with emergency quests, doctors level up way faster.

Save diamonds to get better doctors and open equipment slots. Do not waste diamonds on anything else. Spend money on getting better upgrades for your equipment (and upgrade rooms ofc), save large sums so that you have more chances to get the needed upgrade quicker. Spend vouchers on upgrading your archives room to get more experience for your doctors. Do not bother with having many buildings, eventually you probably won't need more than 2, max 3 of them (in fact it's possible to place most of the rooms in the default building). I kept saving vouchers to unlock buildings and that was a mistake since I neglected the archives room which is more important.
