A major hospital officially opened for service in a special economic zone on Friday, playing a role to further improve the medical treatment and service standards in the prosperous Pearl River Delta region.He Yulong, president of the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou-based Sun Yat-sen University, said his hospital is expected to provide excellent medical treatment and service to not only local patients but also people from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and serve the country's Belt and Road Initiative in the years to come.He promised in the following years to build the hospital into a major medical center in the world, one with distinctive Chinese characteristics and style, by recruiting special medical experts and senior doctors as well as importing advanced medical technologies and equipment."The hospital has 22 clinical departments including outpatient, inpatient, surgery and intensive care units," he said.Covering an area of more than 235,200 square meters, the hospital, situated in Shenzhen's Guangming New District and bordering Dongguan city, now includes 800 inward beds.But the hospital will have more than 4,000 beds when its second phase is completed and service begins in 2020, becoming the largest comprehensive hospital in Shenzhen bordering the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, he said.Luo Jun, president of Sun Yat-sen University, said the hospital demonstrates the successful cooperation between Sun Yat-sen University and the Shenzhen city government and also helps meet the growing demand among local residents for good medical services.The hospital has attracted patients from Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province, and other major cities in the Pearl River Delta on its first day of service.Sun Yat-sen University and the Shenzhen city government signed the contract to jointly construct the hospital in June 2016. It is the first hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in Shenzhen. customize silicone braceletshospital wristbandcustomise fidget spinnerbracelet maker onlinewristband creationcool wristbands202mm to inches
The Chinese military has ceased most of its commercial activities, and is on target to end all such activities by the end of the year, according to Xinhua News Agency.By the end of last month, 100,000 out of 106,000 commercial programs undertaken by the People's Liberation Army had ended, marking an achievement in the PLA's decommercialization efforts, Xinhua reported on Wednesday.The report quoted a PLA department in charge of the work as saying that the Central Military Commission pays great attention to the decommercialization efforts, adding that 26 central government departments and nine commission agencies have been working together to push forward the objective.Plans for the remaining commercial activities, which are sophisticated or sensitive, are being made in accordance with related policies, while issues pertaining to legal affairs, employees, assets and debts have been properly handled according to agreed-upon schedules, the department added.It noted that inspectors will be sent to PLA units to examine whether commercial activities have ceased and whether employees have been adequately compensated. Members of the PLA or the public are also welcome to report concerns via a hotline or email, according to the report.The Chinese military started running its own businesses in the mid-1980s to offset a sharp decrease in the defense budget ordered by then-leader Deng Xiaoping.In 1992, the Central Military Commission officially approved commercial activities by the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force.In February 2016, the commission ordered the PLA and the Armed Police Force to eradicate all commercial activities within three years.Last month, the general offices of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, State Council and Central Military Commission jointly published the Guidelines on the Complete Halt of the Military's Commercial Activities, requesting that units of the PLA and the Armed People Force cease all commercial activities by year-end.The document also stipulates that all property, land and reception facilities owned by the military that have been used for commercial purposes will be directly administered and allocated by the Central Military Commission.
