Huoshenshan Hospital

Updated:2020-03-06 | By:China.org.cn

Huoshenshan Hospital

Isolation and admission of patients are the key tasks in epidemic prevention and control. To ensure that all suspected and confirmed cases could be received and treated, Wuhan decided on January 23, 2020 to build an emergency hospital near Zhiyin Lake in Caidian District, following the practice of Beijing when the capital built the Xiaotangshan Hospital during its fight against SARS in 2003. Named "Huoshenshan" ("Fire God Mountain"), the new hospital was designed to treat patients suffering from novel coronavirus pneumonia.

After the decision was made and preparatory work was launched, the designers completed the site plans within five hours and delivered all design and construction drawings within 60 hours. More than 7,000 construction workers rushed to assist Wuhan. By working around the clock in three shifts and completing the tasks of communications infrastructure, land leveling, surveying and mapping, ward installation, and power construction, they were able to complete the construction in merely 10 days. On February 2, Huoshenshan Hospital was officially delivered to the medical units of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) that came earlier to assist Wuhan. 

With a total floor space of 34,000 square meters, Huoshenshan Hospital has 1,000 beds for intensive care units and general wards. It has supportive departments covering infection control, clinical laboratory, special treatment, and radiodiagnosis.

On February 3, with the approval of Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, 1,400 PLA medical personnel were deployed to staff the new Huoshenshan Hospital. Many of them have worked at Xiaotangshan Hospital in the fight against SARS, assisted Sierra Leone and Liberia in the fight against Ebola, and have rich experience in the treatment of infectious diseases. 

On February 4, the National Healthcare Security Administration announced to include Huoshenshan Hospital as one designated hospital of medical insurance, and the new hospital would adopt the charging standards of public hospitals. On the same day, Huoshenshan Hospital began to receive confirmed patients. On February 13, the hospital discharged the first group of cured patients.

The construction of Huoshenshan Hospital shows the "Chinese speed" at a time of urgency. During the construction of the hospital, a 24-hour live broadcast was streamed on the construction site. Every day, tens of millions of Chinese and foreign netizens voluntarily acted as "cloud supervisors" to root for the builders on the front line.

火神山医院

隔离和收治是新冠肺炎疫情防控工作的重点任务。为确保疑似和确诊病例“应收尽收、应治尽治”,2020年1月23日,武汉市决定参照2003年抗击非典期间北京小汤山医院模式,在武汉市蔡甸区知音湖附近建设一座专门医院,集中收治新冠肺炎患者,命名“火神山医院”。当日施工筹备工作启动后,设计人员在五小时内完成场地平整设计图,60小时内交付全部设计施工图。7000多名建设者们驰援武汉、齐心协力、日夜奋战,先后完成了通信基建、土地平整、测绘定位、病房搭设和电力施工等任务,仅用10天建成了这座收治患者的“安全岛”。2日2日,火神山医院正式交付解放军支援湖北医疗队管理使用。火神山医院总建筑面积近3.4万平方米,设置床位1000张,开设重症病区、普通病区,设置感染控制、检验、特诊、放射诊断等辅助科室。

2月3日,经中央军委主席习近平批准,军队抽组1400名医护人员承担火神山医院医疗救治任务。这些医护人员中有不少人曾参加小汤山医院抗击非典任务,援助塞拉利昂、利比里亚抗击埃博拉疫情,具有丰富的传染病救治经验。2月4日,国家医疗保障局宣布将火神山医院纳入医保定点医院,执行公立医院收费标准,火神山医院正式接诊新冠肺炎确诊患者。2月13日,火神山医院首批治愈患者出院。

火神山医院的建设展现了稳中有急、静中有争的“中国速度”。医院建设期间,工地现场开设24小时直播,数千万中外网络用户以“云监工”形式为一线建设者点赞加油。
