Question: I am planning a Beijing visit around the National Day holiday. Can I assume that Peking Union Medical College Hospital's International Medical Department is open on my preferred day?

Answer: No. A September 30 post from the hospital's official Weibo account says that ordinary and special outpatient clinics at its Dongdan and Xidan campuses are closed October 1 to 3 and are scheduled for morning half-days October 4 to 7. The same post identifies an October 4 arrangement for the International Medical Department at both campuses. The post excerpt does not replace a confirmed appointment or provide a complete department-by-department timetable.

Use the hospital's official channels to verify the exact date, campus, department, registration route, identification and records needed, language support, insurance or payment rules and any changes before you travel. This information is not medical advice and PatientChina does not book, change or guarantee appointments.
