China-Japan Friendship Hospital (CJFH), founded on October 23, 1984, is a large general hospital under the direct leadership of the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC). Mr. Hu Yaobang, then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Ms. Deng Yingchao, then Chairwoman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, autographed the hospital’s name in their own handwriting.

With altogether 1,600 beds (including those operated at the North Campus and the West Campus), CJFH has been committed to delivering medical care, researching, and educating future professionals. It provides health care services to the senior officials of the Central Government, constitutes the national emergency rescue teams and serves as the administration and training center for telemedicine programs organized in the name of the NHFPC.

As one of the first foreign assistance projects after China’s reform and opening up, CJFH was the most international, modern hospital with the most advanced equipment at that time. Since its establishment, CJFH has been at the forefront of upgrading medical facilities and service and systematic reform in hospitals and endeavoring to be the most modernized hospital in China.
