Xia Ping, general director of construction for both hospitals, said that despite the time constraints, every effort is being made to ensure construction quality.

"We have hundreds of quality inspectors to check every building frame, every welding point," Xia said.

Xiang Hui, director of construction at Leishenshan Hospital, said the facility has been designed to protect both the medical professionals who will work in it and local residents.

"It is a temporary emergency facility, but it has to meet the standards for a permanent hospital," Xiang said."It can't be a source of infection."

He added that the builders are racing against time, but they are not neglecting crucial details, such as cleaning and sterilization work.
