Site considered for high-grade hospital in Doumen

A modern medical center is to be built in the Western Central Urban Area Zone A, which is demarked by the Huangyang River in the north, Huxin Road to the east, the Hongqi Town central area in the south, and Xiaolin Town to the west.

Zone A covers 1,135 hectares and is to have a population of up to 158,000. It is designated as an ecological livable demonstration sector with rural characteristics. Within it, the proposed 11-hectare high-level medical center will serve West Wing central urban area south of Pinghua Avenue and north of Tengyi Road.

Right now, the Zhuhai Housing & Urban-Rural Planning & Construction Bureau is soliciting views on the site's location at http://www.zhzgj.gov.cn before a final decision is made.

Adding to the general medical service level of the central urban area, the hospital must be within easy reach of residents in the central urban area.

According to the plan, the facility will be equipped with high-end medical apparatus and 1,000 beds up to the standards of national comprehensive Grade-3 Class-A hospitals.

Improved medical infrastructure matters to Zhuhai residents as the city wants to create an eco-friendly metropolis with healthy and energy-saving lifestyles, a government official commented.
