Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang held an unveiling ceremony of its honorary tiles of "Guangdong Provincial High-level Hospital" and "Guangdong Doctoral Workstation" on Dec 2, which opened a historic page in its high-level hospital construction.

In June of last year, Guangdong province launched the plan for high-level hospital construction. The provincial government planned to invest 9 billion yuan ($1.28 billion) in three years to support the construction of 30 high-level hospitals. In July this year, eight hospitals, including Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, were successfully selected to be part of the third batch of high-level hospitals for key construction.

In addition, with the approval of the Human Resources and Social Security Department of Guangdong province, 426 units, including Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, have been approved to set up a provincial doctoral workstation, which will create an important platform for attracting and gathering young talents, playing an important role and creating unique advantages in creating a hub of innovative talents.

Jiang Jianjun, mayor of Zhanjiang, noted at the ceremony that Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang has stood out in the fierce competition among 66 top 3A-grade general hospitals in the province. He expressed his hope that the hospital can seize new opportunities and use new platforms to gain greater achievements in the construction of high-level hospitals and talent teams, as well as provide higher quality medical services to people in Zhanjiang and surrounding areas.
