Overview
Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) is a general hospital in Beijing that combines clinical care, teaching and research. Its main campus is at Dongdan in Dongcheng District, with further campuses at Xidan and in Daxing District.
For international patients, the most relevant part of the hospital is its International Medical Services department (国际医疗部), which the hospital says was established in 1951. It is located on the Dongdan campus, south of the Internal Medicine Building near the hospital's south gate, and runs its own outpatient clinic, emergency room and inpatient wards.
The hospital states that the department's outpatient clinic covers more than 30 clinical specialties, that the phone appointment line has an English option, and that the hospital app offers an English booking interface. It also states that patients holding a policy with a contracted commercial insurer can use direct billing; the list of contracted insurers is published by the hospital and should be checked before a visit.
