New Hospital a Springboard for Health Reform

(Beijing) – Doors have swung open to welcome up to 10,000 patients a day at the largest hospital in China backed by non-state investors, Peking University International Hospital (PUIH) on Beijing's north side.

The sprawling, 4.5 billion yuan facility opened in December after 12 years of planning and construction. It boasts 1,800 beds and 440,000 square meters of wards, labs, clinics and even a rooftop helicopter pad.
