Ningxia clinic transformed from basic facility to advanced health center
Minning Town Health Center in Yongning county, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past three decades, evolving from a rudimentary grassroots clinic into a modern health center.
Construction of the health center began in 1997, and the facility was completed and put into operation in the second half of 1999. Its medical staff has expanded from an initial team of 13 to 130 today, with an annual patient volume of 137,000 visits.
Today, residents of the town can access convenient, comprehensive medical services right on their doorsteps.
Meng Jingzhuo, a chief physician who has worked at the center for more than 30 years, recalled the harsh early days of the hospital's founding while talking to reporters on Friday.
