China’s state media reports that China plans to build a 5,000-bed “super” hospital featuring the world’s brightest doctors and most advanced technology in time for Beijing’s 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
The hospital will be located in the Zhongguancun district of Beijing and will require an estimated investment of $720 million, reports the Beijing Morning Post.
According to the newspaper, the hospital is expected to offer world-class facilities for medical treatment and testing, and will try to attract the best doctors from China and abroad.
Meanwhile, with some of the $28 billion budgeted for the Beijing Games, eighteen sports facilities are being built at a cost of more than $3 billion; a new airport is being built; and a new runway and terminal are expected to open at the existing airport by 2007.
