Peking University People’s Hospital began in 1918 as the Central Hospital in Beijing, the first general hospital founded and run by Chinese physicians. It is now a major teaching hospital of Peking University in central Beijing.

Its hematology program is the strongest in China: the Peking University Institute of Hematology developed the “Beijing Protocol” for haploidentical stem cell transplantation, which made transplants possible for patients without a fully matched donor. The hospital also ranks second nationally for rheumatology and is strong in thoracic surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology and obstetrics.
