Beijing United Family Hospital

Beijing United Family Hospital: A Benchmark for International-Standard Lifecycle Healthcare Management

I. Hospital Overview

Beijing United Family Hospital is a high-end comprehensive private hospital approved by the National Health Commission. Jointly operated by Fosun Pharma and United Family Healthcare, it commenced operations in 1997. As one of China's earliest medical institutions to obtain JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation, United Family consistently centers its services around a “patient-first” philosophy. It delivers comprehensive lifecycle healthcare spanning prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, committed to providing domestic and international patients with high-quality medical experiences aligned with global standards.

The hospital currently operates four general hospitals (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin) and multiple clinics. The Beijing campus spans approximately 160,000 square meters, with over 400 beds available and an annual outpatient volume exceeding one million visits. Its medical team comprises leading domestic and international specialists, with foreign physicians constituting over 30% of the staff. Expertise spans cardiovascular medicine, oncology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and other fields, including numerous practitioners trained at top overseas medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins Hospital. The hospital maintains JCI accreditation (having passed its fifth reaccreditation) and HIMSS Level 7 electronic medical record certification, ensuring its medical quality and management standards align with international benchmarks.

II. Technical Advantages: Cutting-Edge Technologies and Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Driven by the dual pillars of “international technology + localized innovation,” United Family Healthcare has established significant strengths in minimally invasive surgery, precision medicine, and critical care:

• Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery: Utilizing the Da Vinci Xi surgical robot (applied in urology, general surgery, gynecology, etc.) and hysteroscopic/laparoscopic systems to perform complex procedures minimally invasively. For instance, robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy in urology reduces postoperative hospital stays to 3-5 days with a complication rate below 2%.

• Precision Medicine and Comprehensive Cancer Care: The Cancer Center integrates multidisciplinary teams (MDT) spanning pathology, imaging, surgery, internal medicine, and radiation therapy to deliver end-to-end solutions—from early screening (liquid biopsy) and targeted therapy (gene-guided medication) to immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors). Collaborating with China's premier proton therapy center, it offers proton radiation therapy for sensitive areas like pediatric tumors and head/neck cancers.

• Critical Care Capabilities: The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is equipped with bedside continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), and invasive/non-invasive ventilators. It treats over 2,000 critically ill patients annually, achieving an acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) survival rate exceeding 85%. The Emergency Department operates a “Trauma Green Channel,” with severe trauma patients undergoing surgery within an average of <30 minutes from admission.

• Cutting-Edge Technologies in Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Neonatology: Obstetrics and Gynecology offers painless delivery (spinal anesthesia coverage exceeding 90%), doula-assisted birth, and water birth. Neonatology features high-end incubators, neonatal ventilators, and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) monitoring, achieving a survival rate of over 98% for preterm infants (especially extremely low birth weight infants).

III. Leading Specialties: Focusing on Lifecycle Health Management

With a reputation for “specialized excellence and comprehensive expertise,” United Family Healthcare maintains a leading position in China's high-end medical sector across the following departments:

• Obstetrics and Gynecology: A benchmark department in China's high-end OB/GYN field, offering comprehensive services from pre-pregnancy counseling, prenatal diagnostics (non-invasive prenatal testing, amniocentesis), LDR integrated delivery suites (labor-delivery-recovery), to postpartum rehabilitation. Features specialized clinics for high-risk pregnancies and assisted reproductive technologies (in collaboration with domestic and international fertility centers), with extensive expertise in managing pregnancies in women aged 35 and above.

• Pediatrics: Comprehensive coverage including neonatal care, pediatric health maintenance, pediatric critical care, and pediatric surgery. Services encompass vaccination (Class I/II vaccines), growth and development assessments (e.g., autism and ADHD screening), and allergic disease management (food intolerance, asthma). The pediatric emergency department operates 24/7 with specialized pediatric emergency equipment (e.g., pediatric ventilators, defibrillators).

• Oncology Center: Integrates surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Performs breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for lung cancer, and laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. Maintains remote consultation mechanisms with Mayo Clinic and MD Anderson Cancer Center to provide international treatment plan references.

• Cardiology Center: Covers cardiology (coronary intervention, radiofrequency ablation for arrhythmia) and cardiac surgery (minimally invasive valve replacement, coronary artery bypass grafting). Equipped with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and cardiac ultrasound. Performs advanced procedures like structural heart surgery (transcatheter aortic valve implantation, TAVI), with over 500 surgeries annually.

• Orthopedics & Sports Medicine: Specializes in joint replacements (hip/knee/shoulder), sports injury repair (ACL reconstruction, meniscus suturing), and minimally invasive spine procedures (endoscopic discectomy, UBE technique). Utilizes C-arm navigation systems for enhanced surgical precision. Rehabilitation medicine provides early postoperative intervention to accelerate recovery.

IV. Comprehensive Departmental Coverage: Addressing Lifelong Health Needs

Beyond specialty excellence, United Family operates over 30 clinical and medical technology departments, delivering comprehensive lifecycle health management from childhood to aging:

• Internal Medicine: General practice, gastroenterology (early cancer screening via endoscopy), pulmonology (lung nodule management), endocrinology (personalized diabetes care), neurology (early intervention for Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease), etc.

• Surgery: General Surgery (hepatobiliary-pancreatic, gastrointestinal tumors), Neurosurgery (minimally invasive resection of meningiomas, pituitary tumors), Urology (flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stone removal), Thoracic Surgery (thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary nodules), etc.

• Specialized Clinics: Ophthalmology (phacoemulsification cataract surgery, femtosecond laser vision correction), Otolaryngology (cochlear implant placement, immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis), Dentistry (dental implants, invisible orthodontics), Dermatology (biologic therapy for psoriasis, comprehensive acne management), etc.

• Rehabilitation & Medical Technology: Rehabilitation Medicine (neurological rehabilitation, orthopedic rehabilitation, postpartum rehabilitation), Anesthesiology (visualized anesthesia, pain-free gastrointestinal endoscopy), Radiology (3.0T MRI, 256-slice CT), Laboratory Medicine (fully automated workflow + molecular diagnostics), etc.
