If you want to request a checker you should use the checker request forums: https://project-gc.com/forum/list?8

However, I would suggest you read the "READ FIRST" in that forum and the challenge cache guidelines: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206

This challenge would not be published, since it would either be a user defined area, a challenge based on cache names or a challenge based on a specific list and neither of these are allowed challenges.

But when it are caches all over the world nearby a hospital( non specific)? Is that possible?
In my geochaching card i Can see where the hospitals are. I thougt maybe you can also see that with a checker?
@TeamLima1 I think you misunderstood my answer here.

The ways this checker could be made are these:

1) You base it on the name. So "Log 5 caches with the word hospital in the name", a checker could be made for this but the challenge cache guidelines do not allow you to base a challenge on the cache name.

2) You base it on a user defined area, so "Log 5 caches that are within 100 meters from a hospital". A checker could technically be made for this but it would require hundreds of thousands of zones if it should cover the whole world and the checker system couldn't handle this. It's also a user defined area so it's not allowed in the current challenge guidelines.

3) You make a bookmark-list (or several bookmark-lists) that the checker can use, so "Log 5 caches that CO think are close enough to hospitals". This is also a checker that is possible to make but since the challenge is based on a specific list under control of the CO it is not allowed per the current challenge cache guidelines.

So basically the challenge is not allowed and can not be published, and since the challenge is not allowed it is unlikely that anybody will spend time on making the checker for you. If you want to know how many hospital caches you have found you can keep your own list of those.
oke thans now its totaly clear for me
