In order to alleviate chronic healthcare shortages and improve health indicators in Gansu Province, this project will construct three multi-story hospitals in the province’s capital Lanzhou, home to around 3.31 million people.
The facilities will comprise a Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital; a Gansu Province Tumor Hospital; and, a Gansu Provincial Maternal and Childcare Hospital. Together, the three facilities will contain approximately 3,000 beds, nearly doubling the present count and increasing patient capacity by 1.07 million. The construction of 27 modern operating rooms will allow for around 30,000 operations annually.
By making healthcare services available locally, the project will do much to improve the overall health of the population, which previously had to seek medical care in neighboring provinces.
