What to type into a Chinese map or hospital app

Peking University Third Hospital. Chinese name: 北京大学第三医院. Pinyin: Beijing Daxue Disan Yiyuan. It is commonly shortened in Chinese to 北医三院 (Beiyi Sanyuan).

Where the fit looks strongest

  • The hospital describes spine surgery as a major strength and has a spine surgery research institute.
  • Its sports medicine institute covers sports injury, rehabilitation, nutrition, and medical supervision, with clinical teams for the knee, hip, shoulder and elbow, and foot and ankle.
  • The hospital also has multidisciplinary routes for selected complex spine problems.

A useful route for foreign patients

The hospital has an International Medical Department. That gives a foreign patient a clearer place to ask about English service and coordination, but it still does not prove that a specific spine or sports-medicine expert is available through that department. Ask the international team to confirm the named specialist or subspecialty in writing.

Questions to settle before travel

  • Will the first review be by spine surgery, sports medicine, rehabilitation, pain medicine, or another department?
  • Can a doctor review the full DICOM studies before you travel, or only at an in-person visit?
  • Is the quoted appointment with the doctor you requested or with an available team member?
  • If surgery is recommended, which campus and ward will be used?
  • Can the hospital provide a written estimate and the documents your overseas insurer requires?
  • Who manages rehabilitation and remote follow-up after you leave Beijing?
