About the hospital
A century of medicine.
A focus on difficult cases.
Founded in 1921 by the Rockefeller Foundation, PUMCH combines patient care, medical education and clinical research. Its official introduction identifies the hospital as a national guiding center for the care of complex and severe disorders.
For a patient comparing hospitals in Beijing, its breadth of disciplines is a defining feature. The hospital reports 64 clinical and medical-technology departments and 29 national key clinical specialties in its introduction updated in October 2025. These figures describe institutional breadth, not a guarantee of access or treatment results.
