28/3/2003 18:03


Shanghai will build a hospital in the northwestern Songjiang District to serve as an emergency medical care center, today's eastday.com reported.

The 400-million-yuan (US$48 million) center, complete with an emergency helicopter pad, will be the first of its kind in the city.

With an area of 140,000 square meters, it will provide 600 beds after completion of the first stage of construction, with full completion expected before 2005.

Located close to the neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu, the center will also provide inter-provincial emergency medical services.
