22 years of BJU 

On August 26, 1997, BJU opened its doors for the first time. Back then, in 1997, it was only a modest clinic offering maternity and women's health services, but it soon set the standard for things to come. On BJU's 22nd anniversary, the General Manager, Sylvia Pan, sent her warm greetings and shared her gratitude to all. Click here to see what she had today. 

First-aid support at international community events 

Throughout the month of August, BJU provided first-aid support at many events in the community, including the Spartan super run and activities in international schools. There will be more first-aid support events in September in places such as international schools and international embassies. You may want to know that the BJU Emergency Department is open 24 hours and offers emergency services for both adult and pediatric patients. Do you know how to call an ambulance in China?
