    • Abstract
  • In 1861, the missionary William Lockhart founded the Peking Hospital in Beijing. From 1861 to 1863, William Lockhart not only cured a large number of patients in the Peking Hospital but also introduced western surgical techniques, hygiene and disinfection concepts, and medical record management systems. During its operation, the Peking Hospital's unique value can be seen in its sources and modes of financing, scope of services, number of patients treated, and missionary functions. The Peking Hospital served as a vital bridge for the exchange of medical knowledge between the East and the West, and it played a pivotal role in transforming China's modern medical system and modern health concepts, exerting a profound influence on the development of modern medicine.
