About Peking Union Medical College Hospital

Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) is a comprehensive Grade 3A teaching hospital in central Beijing, affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. It was founded in 1921.

PUMCH is widely referred to for complex, rare and multi-system conditions that need input from several specialties. For international patients it is often a candidate when a diagnosis is uncertain or when previous treatment has not worked as expected.

For international patients, a hospital of this scale can mean faster access to specialist departments. Outcomes are never promised; the hospital decides eligibility after reviewing your records.
