I would try the International Clinic, if they are closed for the holidays then go to the YunDa Hospital at the back of Xiao Xi Men Walmart or the Red Cross Hospital at QingNian Road near the zoo

I would be careful when going to YunDa hospital. I had a pretty bad eye infection a few weeks ago and also went to YunDa. They were correct on it being a bacterial infection, after which the 3 giggling girls looking into my problem decided I needed a drip, 2 types of eyedrops and 1 type of eye cream. All of these were antibiotics. I laughed and left, called up a friend – also a trained doctor – who told me to only take Amoxicillin orally. The infection was visibly gone in 2 days (I kept taking the antibiotic for a week though).

Also, if your problem is not caused by a bacterial infection, taking antibiotics can possibly make it worse. Many of the doctors here, and especially people working in pharmacies, will give you wide-spectrum antibiotics for every problem, so always make sure you know what they're giving you.

Richland will usually give a decent diagnosis, but make sure you go there during regular hours as a lot of their better doctors / specialists won't be on duty in evenings / weekends / holidays.

Moi, j'etais dans un hopital chinois a Pekin (excuse le manque d'accents) pour le TB, et je leur ai donne les noms de certains medicaments. Ils les ont trouve les noms chinois en ligne sans probleme. Bonne chance!

Actually there are two Western midwives in town. Both of them work at Kunming Int'l Clinic. One is from America, and the other is from the UK. Neither will deliver here in Kunming. My wife saw the one from America, Betsy, but she delivered in Bangkok. The number for the clinic is 64119100. I believe they are closed for a few more days while they move to a new location. Hope this helps.

It is very close to it's current location on Xi Yuan Rd. It is moving a few blocks away on Huang Cheng Rd. It is in the Yin Jie Di Xiaoqu area. It is about a 5 minute walk from the current location in another small hospital.
