Chinese Government provides $2.9 million grant for Phase 1 of Rumbek Kiir Maryardit Women Hospital Construction Project (Linked to Project ID#53331)

In 2008, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce provided a $2.9 million USD grant to the Government of Sudan for the construction of the Kiir Maryardit Women Hospital. On 5 July 2019, China added dormitories to the same hospital (see Project ID#53331). China Jiangxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation Company (CJIC) was the implementing contract. Works began on 31 March 2012. The project passed acceptance on 10 October 2013. This 3,700 square meter hospital is located in Rumbek. Rumbek was originally located in Sudan but it became part of South Sudan after gaining independence in 2011. Therefore, on 10 December 2013, the Kiir Maryardit Women Hospital was handed over to the South Sudanese Ministry of Health. It was officially opened and operational in July 2014.
