City guide
Medical treatment in Beijing
Beijing holds the largest concentration of national referral hospitals in China. When a case is difficult enough that a provincial hospital sends it upward, this is usually where it lands. If your condition is rare, advanced, or has already been operated on once without success, Beijing is the first place to look.
