Crowded, needlessly complex application system.

Going to have to add something to the last two reviews of this place.

I can't say much about the skill of the doctors as I wasn't treated myself but I took someone there during dragon boat festival and ended up driving up there a couple of times due to the application process.

The place was recommended to me by other foreigners as an "international, foreigner friendly hospital", sorry but perhaps they are simply relying on this reputation to draw patients but it seems like the kind of place you'd find in some nongcun to me.

(what the hell?...I said "NONG-CUN", "farmer villiage")

Anyway, we queued up and signed in to the place on Dragon boat festival...queued up and went to some other desk to get some card, then tried to queued up to a third desk to pay and were told that the desk where you pay wont be open till after the holidays.
Couldn't have mentioned that before?

Queuing didn't really take that long so it wasn't a huge deal but if this is how they are organized it starts alarm bells ringing in the back of my mind about how they do other things.

Which brings me to the general state of the place: the plaster on the walls was falling off and looked ancient and the whole place seemed kind of dirty...maybe that's just cheap Chinese building materials.
Considering this place has the eyebrow raising name of "China-Japan Friendship Hospital" I can only assume it was built recently.
It was also very crowded with yokels, nothing wrong with that of course (If you like hanging out at Chinese bus stations.)

Worth noting that if you want to get a chance to see a doctor in the morning you'll need to turn up early.
Be there by 8 or latest 9, otherwise you'll need to wait till 2 or something.

I'm giving this place 2 stars cause I don't know what the doctors are like, might be great. And it could be worse...hospital in the south west nearly killed a friend of mine twice in two weeks by giving her the wrong drip.

So next time some laowai advices you to check out this place ignore them, go to Chaoyang Hospital instead.
The process is faster and the place is clean. There is a small about of queing involved but it's mostly painless, ring in advance to skip the actual queue for the doctor.
