Founded in Beijing in 1997, United Family is a for-profit foreign-owned medical chain. In 2005, Beijing United Family was first accredited by the world-recognized International Joint Medical Commission (JCI), and in 2014, it passed the JCI recertification process. Over the past 20 years, UFH has set up hospitals and clinics in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Qingdao and other places, and its clinics in Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou have also received JCI accreditation.
As a general medical institution, the Department of Pediatrics is the gold medal department of United Family Hospital. United Family Healthcare in Beijing provides pediatric care and child care services. Its pediatric diagnosis and treatment includes pediatric general surgery, pediatric orthopedics, pediatric cardiology, pediatric hematology, adolescent medicine, and special children's outpatient clinics. In short, with the exception of particularly serious or rare diseases, most common pediatric diseases can be treated at UFH's hospital level. At UFH, the time required for a consultation is about 25 minutes, so parents have enough time to communicate with the doctor to ensure that their children can receive accurate diagnosis and treatment. When it comes to disease management, UFH does not over-examine or treat it. It has established a set of antibiotic monitoring indicators, which control the proportion of antibiotics prescribed in outpatient clinics at about 15%, and the proportion of antibiotics in inpatient departments at about 30% (the national standard for outpatient prescriptions and inpatient prescriptions is 30% and 50%, respectively).
UFH's child health program is also very comprehensive. In addition to basic physical examination and growth and development assessment, it also includes disease prevention and home care, vaccination, assessment of children's behavioral and emotional development, and infant head shape correction, providing a one-stop service from physiology to psychology, from prevention to treatment. For pneumonia vaccination, which is a concern for many parents, United Family has launched a newly introduced 13-valent pneumonia vaccine package (four doses) in China, which can be used in the pediatric outpatient clinic, general practice outpatient clinic, and satellite clinics of Beijing United Family Hospital. If the child has had previous vaccinations, the doctor will also make plans and recommendations for follow-up vaccinations based on your child's vaccination records. Pneumonia is caused by the bacterium coccus and spreads among people through respiratory droplets or oral contact, in addition to meningitis and otitis media, which is a major cause of death worldwide. Infants and young children under 2 years of age are at highest risk of infection. Therefore, if the economy allows, parents can consider giving their babies such vaccinations.
Like all pediatric clinics, UFH has an appointment system, and appointments for common diseases must be made at least one day in advance. The difference is that UFH also offers same-day outpatient services. Parents can consult the 24-hour service telephone whether their child needs immediate medical attention. If it is not necessary, we will also receive corresponding treatment suggestions. In case of emergencies, UFH also provides 24×7 emergency services.
Beijing United Family has a very good medical environment. Take the main hospital on Jiangtai Road as an example, the hospital is simple and bright, and there is an exquisite coffee bar at the door. In the pediatric diagnosis and rest area, small tables, chairs and toys customized for children are provided, and the decoration style is also lively and brisk; There are free masks and snacks at the nurses' station. The overall is clean and comfortable, without the crowding and noise of public hospitals, and there is basically no waiting in line if you have an appointment. For patients who come from other places, UFH also provides services such as booking and purchasing international and domestic air and train tickets, as well as short-term or medium-term accommodation information in the surrounding area.
With such high-quality medical conditions and services, UFH's fees are naturally expensive. By the end of 2017, the first consultation fee reached 1,500 yuan, and then 1,000 yuan for medical treatment, laboratory tests, drugs, etc. If the frequency of medical treatment is more frequent, it may be more cost-effective to apply for its membership: 1035 yuan/year for adult members, 415 yuan/year for children, and 20% discount in addition to medicines. In addition, UFH has established a direct billing service with more than 40 insurance companies, so you can ask if you have purchased a commercial insurance policy before you visit a doctor.
