Pediatrics Department

The Department of Pediatrics of Peking Union Medical College Hospital was established in 1921 when Peking Union Medical College Hospital was founded. It has nurtured the founders of the development of Chinese pediatrics and many pediatricians, and is the birthplace of modern pediatrics in China. After several generations of unremitting efforts, it has gradually developed into a comprehensive pediatrics hospital that provides a full range of medical services. Leveraging the overall advantages of Union Hospital as a national guidance center for the diagnosis and treatment of difficult and severe diseases designated by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, Union Pediatrics enjoys a high reputation in the domestic pediatric system in terms of diagnosis and treatment of premature infants, genetic diseases, and difficult diseases. Over the years, Union Pediatrics has made clear diagnoses for a large number of children with difficult and rare diseases, enabling them to receive timely treatment and rebuilding the hope of a happy life for more families. The seven major professional groups of Union Pediatrics, relying on the comprehensive strength of Union Hospital, have always maintained high standards in the industry and have repeatedly won awards for medical research achievements at all levels.
