The hospital leader said that the expansion is to meet local residents' need for medical treatment. It is predicted that the hospital will receive a total of 780,000 outpatients and emergency patients for the year 2015, which were beyond its current capacity, hence the need for further expansion has been required.

As per the planning, the second-phase project, with a total floor area of 48,000 square meters will include an office building, an apartment building and an inpatient building. The hospital will increase 400 beds also.

All these will contribute to the local chronic disease control and prevention.
