National Taiwan University Hospital, Hsinchu Branch Introduction
National Taiwan University Hospital was established during the Japanese colonial period, formerly known as Taipei Hospital, Taiwan Governor-General's Office Taipei Hospital, and Taipei Imperial University Medical College Hospital. After the war, it was renamed as National Taiwan University Hospital and is a core institution in the development of modern medicine in Taiwan. The western campus building is currently used for outpatient services and some wards. This building, designed by Mr. Kondo Juro, is a two-story structure in the Renaissance style made of red brick and reinforced concrete. The layout is symmetrically arranged with a central corridor connecting various outpatient and ward services. The lobby is solemn and splendid, with spacious interiors that utilize many Western architectural techniques, making it a masterpiece of modern Western-style architecture and at the time, the largest and most modern hospital in Southeast Asia.
