Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, serves as the nation's political and cultural hub. As both a world famous ancient capital and a modern international city, Beijing offers abundant and high-quality medical resources. As of January 2025, a total of 156 medical institutions provide comprehensive English-language services, including both non-profit public medical institutions run by the government and non-public medical institutions. Each type of medical institutions offers complete medical services with its own distinctive features. International patients can choose a facility that best suits their needs.

To facilitate access to medical treatment for international patients, Beijing encourages public medical institutions to set up international medical departments, which focus on various aspects relevant to foreign patients, including international medical procedure, religious belief, cultural customs, lifestyle, language communication, dietary habits, aiming to provide a comfortable and patient-centered medical experience.
