Overview
Peking University Third Hospital (PUTH) is affiliated with Peking University — widely considered "China's Harvard." It is one of the most prestigious teaching and research hospitals in the country.
The sports medicine department is legendary — it has treated Olympic athletes from China and multiple other countries. The reproductive medicine center (IVF) was where China's first test-tube baby was born in 1988, and today it maintains one of the highest IVF success rates in Asia.
Foreign vloggers consistently highlight two things: the modern facilities rival any Western hospital, and a specialist consultation costs under $10 — compared to $200-500 in the US, $150-300 in the UK, and $100-200 in Singapore. This isn't a compromise on quality — it's the result of China's healthcare pricing structure.

Patient Stories
"A specialist consultation cost me $8. In Toronto I paid $300 just for a referral appointment that took 4 months to get. The professor here spent 40 minutes with me and adjusted my entire treatment plan."
