PUMCH was founded by the Rockefeller Foundation in 1921. From the very
beginning, it was intended to be built into the “best Medical Center in Asia”.
Over the past 100 years, the PUMCH spirit of “preciseness, ever-improving,
diligence, and devotion” and the PUMCH aspiration of "practicing medicine
for the country and the people and assiduously learning in pursuit of
knowledge" has been passed on from generations to generations. The
hospital has also formed the modern medical education concept of “Three Basics”
and “Three Stricts”. We have been proud of our “Three Treasures”, namely,
professors, case files and libraries. PUMCH has fostered many medical pioneers
and masters in modern China such as Dr. ZHANG Xiaoqian and Dr. LIN Qiaozhi. In
addition, generations of administrative personnel have been trained in PUMCH
and spread all over China. More than ten renowned comprehensive or specialized
hospitals were originated from PUMCH. PUMCH innovatively proposed the notion
for running the hospital “treat patients as family and boost their
satisfaction, treat colleagues as family to boost their happiness”, put forward
the grand vision to build an academic, quality and humanistic PUMCH as
connotation of “the century PUMCH”. PUMCH is pushing on the construction of
“the Six System”: Medical Services System, Talents Training System, Science and
Innovation System, Fine Management System, Open & Collaboration System,
Party & Culture Building System.
Currently, there are four campuses in PUMCH, with a total construction
area of 610,000 square meters. PUMCH has more than 4,300 employees, 3
academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of
Engineering, 58 clinical and medical technology departments, 29 national key
clinical specialties, 6 national scientific research platforms, 5 national
"double first-class" construction disciplines, 12 national key
disciplines, and 9 disciplines authorized to offer doctoral degree programs, 6
national medical continuing education centers, 20 national standardized
residency training centers, and 8 national standardized specialist training
centers. PUMCH offers more than 2,000 beds, operated more than 58000 cases and
discharged over 113,300 patients in 2021. Meanwhile, PUMCH also shoulders its
social responsibility to offer medical services and support for underdeveloped
and remote areas, emergencies and major national events.
Consistently guided by the needs of our patients, we aim to provide the
best services with our solid faith, professional ethics, unreserved
contribution, and rigorous academic attitude. On the journey to our new centenary,
sticking to the orientation “all for our people and all for the patient”, we
are making strenuous efforts in building PUMCH into the national medical center
and a “world-class hospital with Chinese characteristics”, working hard to
safeguard people's health in an all-round manner and in their full life cycle
and propel PUMCH to spearhead China's healthcare development.
