Beijing United Family Hospital

Beijing United Family Hospital and Clinics (BJU) was the first international standard hospital established in China. It opened in 1997 as a joint venture between China International, Inc. and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. Beijing United Family was the first foreign-invested hospital to operate in China. In 2009, the hospital had 50 beds and sees over 2,500 patients every week with its 17 departments and services. The facility provides 24-hour emergency and intensive care services alongside multiple medical departments. Beijing United Family was the first hospital in China to receive accreditation from the United States-based, nonprofit, Joint Commission International (JCI). The hospital is staffed by a team of over 100 doctors from 15 different countries, China, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Nepal, Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These specialists are supported by a team of English-speaking nurses. BJU has over 500 support workers. In 2010, the hospital opened a new United Family Liangma Clinic outside the main hospital. Beijing United Family Hospital has sister hospitals in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, Guangzhou and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
