Where to get residency health exam?

[billiardsmike]

Got into Beijing well ahead of time for classes to clear red tape. I still can't find out where to go for my health exam. Help! Also, do I need to take an interpreter, since my putonghua is limited to about 20 words?

your university should help with this, they should have someone who can take you, may be at a cost to you... i think you can get the exam done at home before you go but the x-rays, etc will prolly cost more to do at home

Thanks. I'm hoping they'll accept the paperwork from the exam I had before I left, but I'll still need the x-rays. I couldn't get anyone to tell me what their exam entails, so I had my doctor do one anyway. I didn't want to get over here and then find out I'm dying or something.

Hi Everyone,

I need a chest x-ray and a ECG to register my residence with the police station. I won't be able to get them before I leave--does anyone know where in Beijing I can get my medical exams done? what hospital (and address). I'm going to try to get it done the day I arrive to get it out of the way.

Thanks!

20# HepingIi Beijie,

Chaoyang District, Beijing

Tel.: 010-6427-4240

From here, not sure if there are other approved hospitals.

I don't think you'd need an interpreter - I don't know if they have anyone who speaks English, but they're sure as hell used to dealing with people who don't speak English and will no doubt try to point and grunt you through the process even if you are fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese and any number of dialects.

I need a chest x-ray and a ECG to register my residence with the police station.

You don't. For your residence permit from the PSB you need the health check. Local police station registration doesn't require it.

Incidentally, searching Google for 'Beijing Where to get residency health exam' gives you the above link as the third result - a little research, folks

Sheesh, they must want to move it out of the city in case they actually discover an infectious disease and need to quarantine it. Not too bad for students in Haidian, but no short trek for anyone in Chaoyang.
