1 Overview of the Project
1.1 Background of the project
1 Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Wushan County is leading public health service system of three levels of county, township and village, engaging in medical treatment, rescue，training and guiding medical staff in three-gorge reservoir area. With economic growth, improvement of livelihood level and quality and deepening of reform of medical system, growth of the hospital cannot match with the local economic growth. In-patient department conditions are poor, facilities are not complete. Rooms and beds are insufficient; space for out-patient department, inpatient department and support rooms is only 2,570m². There are no planted area and leisure ground for patients. All these fail to meet the demand for traditional Chinese medicine and health care, restrict the improvement of local medical service and the growth of the hospital.
2 Construction of the project would upgrade the comprehensive power of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Wushan, perfect the building of public health service system and play positive role in ensuring the health of the people in Wushan and adjacent areas.
1.2 Description of the project
3 Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital building in Jiangdong New Zone of Wushan County is the project scheduled in Phase Two of Chongqing Urban-Rural overall planned project using the loan from World Bank.

Since all works would be performed simultaneously, the resettlement action plan will cover the total land use, i.e.60mu. At present, there is existing roads access to the proposed hospital with the width of 6-10m. Based on the plan of the development zone, those roads will be widen to 12-15m. According to the calculation, the roads widening will acquire about 5mu land, the impacts of land and related attachments(See Table 1-1) have been included in the total land impact of the project (seeTable 2-1, 2-2,2-3 and 2-5). Although the road will be constructed by Administrative Committee of Jiangdong New Zone, the hospital by Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital of Wushan, but the land acquisition of the road and the hospital will be conducted by the Land Reserve Center of Jiangdong New Zone the compensation policy, thus the compensation standard, funding sources and distribution channel of the land acquisition are same.The land taking for the road construction is treated as a part of this RAP.
