Cooperation and Development—Celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Government Loan Cooperation between the People’s Republic of China and the State of Israel Zhumadian Central Hospital Project of Henan Province Founded in 1965 and located in the beautiful southern area of Henan Province, Zhumadian Central Hospital is the largest Grade-3 class-A hospital in Zhumadian city with 2,100 beds and 2,250 employees. It is committed to providing medical and health care services for 8.7 million residents in Zhumadian city. In order to improve medical conditions and the level of diagnosis and treatment and to provide better services for patients, the hospital applied for an Israeli Government Loan of USD 13.25 million to purchase 31 sets of medical equipment (including 3.0T MRI, Linear Accelerator, etc.) after it had been approved by the municipal government in July 2011. The project was approved by MOF in 2012. From March 2014 to May 2015 all the medical equipment purchased under the Project had been delivered, installed, and put into operation. Implementation of the Project has upgraded the medical equipment of the hospital and significantly improved the hospital’s comprehensive strength and social awareness. The greatly-improved level of diagnosis and treatment meets the ever-growing demand for medical and healthcare services from the local residents. There is nearly 20,000 person-time of the medical check by 3.0T MRI every year; about 10,000 person-time of medical treatment by Linear Accelerator each year; and about 5,000 person-time of medical check and treatment by Philips Vascular made in Israel every year. The medical equipment purchased under the Project not only helps doctors to provide medical services to the pat ients but also helps the hospital gain much more income as well as social and economic benefits. Some examinations and treatments in the hospital have reached the same advanced level seen in Henan Province, which further enhances the good reputation of the hospital as the core medical center in the southern area of Henan. We sincerely wish that the friendly cooperation between Israel and China will be further developed with more fruitful achievements. 55
