Wuhan Economic &Technological Development Zone (WEDZ) on Sept 25 signed a cooperation agreement with Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Under it, the two sides will jointly construct the auto valley branch of the hospital in the WEDZ.
Focusing on the life and health industry for many years, the WEDZ has already gathered many high-quality medical resources. On July 20, the WEDZ administrative government and the hospital decided to establish a branch in the Junshan New City so as to further improve the regional city functions.
With a total floor space of 230,000 square meters, the new branch will be based on the Tongji International Rehabilitation Medical Center.
The medical equipment research center and the national medical center of Tongji Hospital will also be established in the auto valley branch.
Construction is expected to be completed in January 2023 and the new facility will start receiving patients five months later.
