What Is China-Japan Friendship Hospital Known For?

Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine

China-Japan Friendship Hospital is especially associated with respiratory medicine. Patients with lung disease, breathing problems, chronic cough, asthma, COPD, sleep-related breathing issues, or post-infection respiratory symptoms may consider this hospital depending on their medical needs.

Rheumatology and Autoimmune Diseases

The hospital is also relevant for patients who need evaluation of rheumatology-related symptoms, such as joint pain, inflammatory conditions, autoimmune disease, connective tissue disorders, or long-term unexplained systemic symptoms.

Patients should prepare previous blood tests, immune marker results, imaging reports, medication history, and any diagnosis received outside China.
