The planned construction, covering 103,167 square meters with a 35.09 percent  green coverage ratio, will be situated in the supporting area for the Guangdong-Hong Kong Deep Cooperation Zone, according to the plan released by the Guangzhou municipal governmental authority.

The project will be accomplished by 2022. It is intended to develop into a modern upper first-class hospital with superior traditional Chinese medicine characteristics.

The hospital is generally expected to be divided into two functional domains. The northwest one will implement research and administrative functions; the southeast will offer emergency treatment, clinic and inpatient service.

Notably, the inpatient department contains two 19-floor buildings equipped with 1,200 beds.

The designed parking lot can accommodate 2,600 cars. Exclusive parking space is reserved for 27 ambulances.

The Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of  China’s largest and strongest hospitals in that field. It was established in 1933, and has been known as the first medical powerhouse in the province.

It has fostered over 100 specialized subjects, and is considered adept at solving cerebropathy and respiratory diseases as well as acute illnesses through treatments recorded in traditional Chinese medicine.
