National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) was founded in 1895. It was initially located at Dadaocheng, Taipei, and then was relocated to the present site in 1898 (now known as the West Campus). The building was initially constructed out of timber and then it underwent renovation in 1912 to become a tropical renaissance-style building. When completed in 1921, it was the largest and most modern hospital in Southeast Asia.
Since 1991, NTUH has undergone many changes, adding various new branches to its operations to date. The year 1991 saw the completion of the East Campus, which became connected to the West Campus via the underground Jing-Fu Tunnel. Currently, both campuses collectively employ over 7,500 staff, have a capacity of around 2,600 beds, and serve over 9,000 outpatients on a daily basis. In 2000, as authorized by the Executive Yuan, NTUH took in the 817th Military Hospital as its Kungkuan Campus. Four years later in April 2004, Yun-Lin Hospital of the Department of Health underwent institutional change and become the Yun-Lin Branch of NTUH. In August of that same year, the National Taipei College of Nursing Hospital became the Bei-Hu Branch of NTUH.
NTUH added a few more hospitals to its scope between 2008 and 2019. In 2008, the Children’s Hospital was officially opened. Then, in the following year (2009), the Kungkuan Campus ceased operations for the construction of the NTU Cancer Center Hospital. In October 2010, NTUH took in another hospital, this time the North Coast Jin-Shan Hospital, as the Jin-Shan Branch of NTUH. In July 2011, the Hsin-Chu and Chu-Tung General Hospitals under the governance of the Department of Health of the Executive Yuan joined NTUH to become the Hsinchu and Chu-Tung Branches of NTUH, respectively. At the end of 2019, a new branch constructed with NTUH’s own funds at Hsinchu Biomedical Science Park came onboard and started operating.
