After Rockefeller passed away on Monday at the age of 101, Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) in Beijing posted an article on its official Sina Weibo account with the title “Thanks to Rock- efeller family for establishing the best hospital in China.” The article reviewed the founding of PUMCH and thanked the Rockefeller family for their con- tribution to the development of medical services in China.

The hospital, a “Class-A tertiary comprehen- sive hospital,” was officially established in 1921, with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. From the very beginning, it was intended to be built into the “best medical center in Asia.” From 2009 to 2015, PUMCH has consecutively topped the “Best Hospital Ranking in China,” published by the Hospital Management Institute of Fudan University. According to the statement, the Rockefeller Foundation provided $10 million from 1913 to 1923 to establish the hospital, which is more than its $7 million expenditure on John Hopkins University. Since then, the hospital has educated many elites in medicine who contributed to and witnessed the modernization of China’s medical and public health sector. At present, PUMCH still has close relations with the Rockefeller Foundation.
