TRAVEL TIPS

Emergencies

The best place to head in a medical emergency is the Beijing United Family Health Center, which has 24-hour emergency services. International SOS is another clinic with a good reputation; it can arrange Medivac. For over-the-counter medicines, Watsons pharmacies can be found all over the city, including in most large shopping centers.

Beijing has different numbers for each emergency service, though staff members often don't speak English. If in doubt, call the U.S. embassy first: staff members are available 24 hours a day to help handle emergencies and facilitate communication with local agencies.
