3/9/2003 18:05
The city's medical department is planning to pour some 4.8 billion
yuan into the re-construction projects for local hospitals to make the city into
a Top Asian Medical Center by 2005.
The re-construction will focus on the
basic medical industrutures, such as the waiting hall for the outpatients, the
inpatients' wards and the other departments relate much to the patients, rather
than the medical workers.
Most of the fund will be put into the renowned
hospitals and those located in the most populated districts.
The new
outpatient building of the city' top Ruijin Hospital will cost 380 million yuan,
a similar building of the Longhua Hospital will cost nearly half that ammount,
while the No. 1 People's Hospital's new establishment in Songjiang and the
Shuguang Hospital's spin-off in Pudong will cost much more to reach 480 million
yuan and 460 million yuan respectively.
The outdated and crowded Renji
Hospital near the downtown Fuzhou Road is also listed high in the reconstruction
program with a grant of 170 million yuan.
Up to now, 21 reconstruction
projects totalling an initial input of 4 billion yuan have got official grants
to start. It's blueprinted that 12 projects will be complete by the end of
2004.
