China-Japan Friendship Hospital
China's foremost national center for respiratory medicine. Established in 1984 under the Ministry of Health, this 1,600-bed flagship integrates cutting-edge Western medicine with world-class TCM expertise — the preferred destination for respiratory, allergy, and integrative-medicine travellers.
Overview & History
A symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship and a powerhouse of respiratory medicine — how China-Japan Friendship Hospital became one of Beijing's most trusted tertiary care destinations.
China-Japan Friendship Hospital (中日友好医院) opened its doors in 1984 as a government-to-government cooperation project between China and Japan, jointly funded by both nations. Built to world standards, it was among the first Chinese hospitals equipped with modern Japanese medical facilities — setting a benchmark for institutional design in China at the time.
Today it is the designated home of the National Respiratory Medical Center and the National Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases — the highest-tier respiratory designations in China. Beyond pulmonology, the hospital is equally renowned for its Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which operates seamlessly alongside Western clinical units, offering patients genuinely integrated diagnostics and treatment.
