This paper provides a preliminary investigation and analysis of the current application of Tibetan language services in inland China’s medical sector, focusing primarily on the healthcare connections between the Tibet Autonomous Region and mainland China. Through surveys and interviews, the study explores the language and information barriers faced by Tibetan patients seeking medical treatment in Beijing. It analyzes the availability of Tibetan language services in healthcare institutions, primarily in Beijing, and the impact of these services on the experience of Tibetan patients. The findings indicate that Tibetan patients are a minority in Beijing’s hospitals, with Tibetan language services being extremely scarce and their related needs largely overlooked. Given that Beijing is the capital and home to the country's top medical resources, this paper offers analysis and recommendations for addressing a potential rise in such needs in the future.
