A delegation led by China's ambassador to Djibouti, Fu Huaqiang, met on Monday with Djibouti's Health Minister Djama Elmi Okieh to discuss the project's feasibility study.
From a technical view point, the future Tadjourah regional hospital will be built on a radius measuring 50,000 square meters.
The structure which will be a referral hospital and whose construction cost has not yet been revealed, will have a 120 bed capacity.
