SHENZHEN planned to build 800 to 1,000 nursing rooms in public places within three years, the Daily Sunshine reported Saturday.

A nursing room design competition was held by the Shenzhen Women’s Federation on Friday. Nine designers won awards for their outstanding designs of nursing rooms in public places.

The awardees will be recognized as “technical experts” by the city’s human resources and social security bureau. The contestant who got the highest score can apply for the city’s craftsmanship award.

Ma Hong, president of the Shenzhen Women’s Federation, said over 25 percent of public places will be equipped with nursing rooms by 2020. (Zhang Yang)
