local people. It is renowned for its excellence in renal, cardiovascular and
oncological diseases. It has an outpatient acupuncture department treating
sciatica, headaches, tinnitus etc. It has six very active research

effectively the second affiliated hospital. It too has a number of
specialities.
The Third Affiliated Hospital.
The hospital was founded in 1958 as a general hospital and in 1987 the
Beijing Medical University decided to set up its third college of clinical
medicine in it. It has 945 beds and all major medical and surgical
specialities. Some interesting departments include the department of
traditional Chinese medicine and the central sterilization room. It has the
