Living in Beijing can sometimes mean not being able to book an appointment at a hospital, especially at a local one. The locals use the 114 system to guahao (book hosptial appointment) but unless you can read Chinese, you’re stuck with the old school method of calling up the hospital or begging a Chinese friend to help. But fear no more! Since the 114 health mini-program now offers a guahao feature, the Jingkids team has created a step-by-step guide to show you how to make an appointment.
The 114 provides its QR code of the WeChat account
Step 1, type “114” in the WeChat search bar or scan the above QR code to enter the account. Click the “service” button.
Step 2, click “appointment register” and jump to the hospital list page.
Step 3, search the hospital name at the top bar or slide down the list to find the hospital you want to visit. Then enter the hospital page.
Step 4, search the department name at the top bar, or slide down the list to find the department you want to visit. Then enter the schedule page.
Step 5, let’s take general surgery department as an example. Choose the date by sliding left or right, or use the calendar. The date with color blue still has empty places for registration. The gray one means all places are booked. The below part shows the available places for morning and afternoon.
Step 6, after deciding the date, we can move to registration. If you are new to the 114 system, you will need to add new patient first, and fill in some information. The 114 account is bonded to your ID card, so you’d better use your own identification. It’s okay to register for others, but a face recognition will be required.
Step 7, during the COVID period, most hospitals require patient to complete a questionnaire. If you don’t have any symptoms of fever and have no history traveling to middle or high risk area, just click “no” for all the questions.
Step 8, get a verification code from your phone, and finally, we can confirm the registration. Don’t forget to check the information again!
Step 9, registration completed. Each order has its own identification code. If you want to cancel the order, make sure to follow the cancellation policy, or you will lose the registration fee.
There is also a video containing the above process which is clearer and more coherent. Click the video to watch the whole steps!
