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
Ziyang First People’s Hospital Project
of Sichuan Province
The total investment of the project is RMB 134 million, among which USD 15 million (equivalent to
about RMB 94.5 million) is financed by the Israeli Government Loan. The hospital utilizes the loan for the
purchase of 181 sets of medical equipment and the construction of an auxiliary building in the new branch
of the hospital with a total building area of 14,939 square meters. The project started on March 29, 2013 and
was completed and put into operation by November 11, 2014.
The implementation of the Israeli Government Loan project has further improved auxiliary functions such
as pulp washing, supply, catering, office work and health check. It created a better environment for patients
and helped the hospital become a large comprehensive complex with outpatient, emergency treatment, health
check, medical treatment, prevention and rehabilitation services. In addition to the work within the hospital
the project also provides other hospitals of surrounding cities and counties with standardized services of
pulp washing and disinfection etc. from which the hospital gains both social and economic benefits. The
new equipment purchased under the project has been implemented in various innovative medical technology
programs in the hospital and have helped these programs run smoothly. The equipments featuring advanced
performance, convenient operation and guaranteed quality have not only improved diagnosis and treatment
levels but also solved the problem of inadequate medical services and contributed a lot to achieving the goal
of “Healthy Ziyang”.
