About
Peking University People's Hospital, established in 1918, is a historic Beijing institution that commands the undisputed #1 position in hematology nationwide. It also figures among China's most highly regarded centers for rheumatology, women's health, and thoracic surgery.
History & scale
Scale and Heritage: The hospital runs roughly 1,800 beds and accommodates over 3 million outpatient visits annually from its site near Xizhimen in central Beijing. It was the first hospital in Asia to successfully complete an allogeneic bone marrow transplant, and that trailblazing ethos continues to animate its hematology program to this day.
Star specialties
Leading Disciplines: Peking University People's Hospital occupies the #1 national slot in Hematology — its Peking University Institute of Hematology operates as the world's leading center for haploidentical (half-matched) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a technique invented here that has revolutionized global transplant access by solving the donor shortage problem. The program conducts over 1,000 transplants yearly, with outcomes published in The New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA. The hospital ranks #2 in Rheumatology, with concentrated expertise in rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. It also claims #7 in Obstetrics and Gynecology, #7 in Thoracic Surgery, and #9 in Orthopedics.
Achievements & recognition
The 'Beijing Protocol' for haploidentical transplantation — developed by Academician Huang Xiaojun and his team — is now deployed in transplant centers across more than 30 countries, having fundamentally altered the global standard of care for patients with leukemia, aplastic anemia, and myelodysplastic syndromes who lack matched donors. The hospital's rheumatologists launched China's first early arthritis clinic and spearheaded treat-to-target strategies adapted for the Chinese population.
International services
Services for International Patients: The International Medical Services (IMS) department, situated on the 3rd floor of the Special Needs/International Medical Building, provides English-speaking care coordination, appointment scheduling via email or telephone, VIP suites, and insurance direct billing. International hematology and rheumatology referrals benefit from particularly well-developed dedicated care pathways.
Why choose this hospital
Why Select Peking University People's Hospital: For patients diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, aplastic anemia, or myelodysplastic syndromes — especially those who lack a matched sibling donor — this hospital invented the very solution that makes transplant feasible. It is the global epicenter of haploidentical transplantation. The rheumatology program is equally world-class for complex autoimmune diseases.
