A book summarizing the experience of management of the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), or the PLA No. 301 Hospital, has been published by the Beijing-based People's Medical Publishing House.

A ceremony was held Sunday at the Great Hall of the People, in central Beijing, on Sunday, to mark the publishing of the book.

Over the past five decades, the top military hospital has carried out lots of important assignments by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Central Military Commission, according to hospital sources. It has been awarded many honorary titles by the Party, the government, and the Army.

In recent years, the hospital, which used to be focused on clinic work, has been developed into a research-based medical institution, the sources said.
