In addition, a certain number of Peacekeepers probably train as medics so that their colleagues don't need to return to Two for anything but major injuries (getting treatment from the locals would be too likely to compromise their loyalty); that training would also require a better medical infrastructure.
I hadn't thought of this; you make a really excellent point. There needs to be a medical infrastructure in Two to support essentially battlefield medical training. There have to be a lot of PKs, and the Capitol definitely thinks it's worth investing in them. Perhaps it is work running an independent medical college in Two, for training PK medics and at least a basic-level medical corps (probably not with all the bells and whistles of the Capitol, but miles better than Ms. Everdeen and her herbs) to serve the population.
