China.org.cnUpdated: September 9, 2020

Leishenshan Hospital

On January 25, 2020, as the construction of Huoshenshan Hospital had just begun, Wuhan decided to build another emergency hospital near Huangjia Lake, Jiangxia District. The new hospital, named "Leishenshan" ("Thunder God Mountain") was designed to treat patients of novel coronavirus pneumonia diagnosed in fever clinics or transferred from other hospitals.

In the face of the epidemic, the designers and builders counted against the clock. On January 26, the overall design plan of the hospital was completed; on January 27, large-scale construction began; on January 28, the construction and renovation of communication base station infrastructure saw completion; and on January 29, power supporting engineering was completed and began to supply electricity to the hospital. At the peak period of construction, more than 10,000 builders and nearly 1,500 sets of machinery and equipment fought together, night and day. 

After more than 10 days of construction, Leishenshan Hospital was put into use on February 8, officially taken over by Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, and the first group of patients were admitted that night. 

The hospital covers an area of nearly 80,000 square meters and is divided into three parts: isolation area for the patients, living area for the medical staff, and logistics area, with a total of 1,600 beds. On February 18, the first cured patients in Leishenshan Hospital were discharged.

Like Huoshenshan Hospital, Leishenshan Hospital was also a major project for China to fight the novel coronavirus epidemic. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, the Party organizations of all construction units had unswervingly implemented the decisions and deployments made by the CPC Central Committee. Ordinary workers united as one, spared no effort, and created a miracle. Construction of the hospital has demonstrated the institutional advantage of the system of socialism, that is, by concentrating efforts on major initiatives, a vital guarantee was formed for winning the war against the epidemic.

雷神山医院

2020年1月25日,火神山医院建设刚刚展开,武汉市决定在武汉市江夏区黄家湖附近再建设一所专门医院,集中收治各医院发热门诊和住院确诊的新冠病毒肺炎患者,定名“雷神山医院”。

面对疫情,设计者和建设者们分秒必争。1月26日,医院设计总体方案完成;1月27日,开始大规模施工;1月28日,完成通信基站基础设施新建及改造任务;1月29日,完成电力配套工程建设,开始供电运行。建设高峰期,逾万名建设者、近1500台机械设备昼夜不停施工。经过10余天施工建设,雷神山医院于2月8日交付使用,由武汉大学中南医院正式接管,当晚开始收治首批患者。医院建设面积近8万平方米,分为医疗隔离区、医护生活区和综合后勤区三个部分,共设1600张床位。2月18日,这所医院首例治愈患者出院。

与火神山医院一样,雷神山医院也是中国抗击新冠肺炎疫情的重大工程。在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,各建设单位党组织团结带领干部职工,坚定不移落实中央决策部署,众志成城、全力以赴,筑就了普通劳动者的奋斗奇迹,彰显了集中力量办大事的社会主义制度优势,为打赢疫情防控阻击战提供了重要保障。
