Construction background of Heping Zhoufang hospital ship
Driven by the development of China's overall economic strength, the naval equipment construction and even the entire equipment construction of the Chinese Army have made rapid progress. At the same time, the development of naval construction has also been greatly improved in concept. The Central Military Commission made a major decision on the strategic transformation of the navy, that is, the navy moved from offshore defense to offshore defense. In the process of such a great change in strategic thinking, the equipment construction of the navy, including the construction of naval medical service, has made great progress, especially in maritime medical rescue. In the construction of marine medical equipment, the three-dimensional rescue equipment system of "one ship, five boats and four machines", including China's first standard hospital ship and square boat, has been basically completed, realizing the transformation from scratch. This is the first time that the navy has built such neat three-dimensional rescue equipment at sea in 60 years.
