Common Practical Questions
Can foreigners visit Beijing Tiantan Hospital?
Foreign patients can seek care, but registration, payment and appointment procedures may be more complicated when using a passport. Confirm the appropriate outpatient or international route before the visit.
Is English available everywhere in the hospital?
No. The International Medical Center lists several service languages, but English should not be assumed in every public outpatient department, payment counter, imaging unit or pharmacy.
Can I arrive without an appointment?
Some on-site registration options may exist, but availability varies and sought-after specialists may be fully booked. Booking before international travel is safer.
Are hospital costs included in your support fee?
No. Hospital registration, consultations, imaging, medicine, transport and accommodation are paid separately by the patient.
