Can hospital be AVAILABLE

Can we say "good hospital or shops are available in a city" while speaking about advantages of living in a city."Present" also do not seem appropriate to me.

Hello, Sweetan.

Maybe something like:

Well-equipped hospitals and fully stocked stores are

found/ located in larger cities.

Maybe (I am not sure) the word available is not the best

word. I get the idea (only my opinion) that the services of a

hospital are available, but not the hospital.

Yes, I agree: maybe present would not be too appropriate.

Thank you

In AmE, we'd say hospitals and shopping areas are nearby. If we wanted to be more specific we'd say "X city" is within Y miles of Z Hospital, a major medical center, and is also very near several retail shopping areas.

How about good hospitals and shops are (to be) found in cities?
