+Parent epic: #7520
+GH ticket id: #7514
+
+**Phase:** 2
+**Assignee:** tobiu
+**Status:** To Do
+
+## Description
+
+The `buildHealthResponse` function in `healthService.mjs` contains two inner `try...catch` blocks that are redundant. The empty `catch` blocks obscure the logic. This ticket is to remove them for clarity.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+1.  The `buildHealthResponse` function in `healthService.mjs` is updated.
+2.  The two inner `try...catch` blocks are removed.
+3.  The logic remains correct: if a collection doesn't exist, its `exists` flag is correctly reported as `false` and its `count` as `0`.
