Key Challenge : Nanjing Yimin Hospital is a modern Grade III geriatric hospital located in the Dongshan International Enterprise Headquarters Park in Jiangning District, Nanjing. Built with a total construction area exceeding 70,000 square metres and 750 beds, the hospital offers hotel-style services with central air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, and digital facilities throughout.
