The hospital was established in April 1968, through the merger of Taipei Obstetric Hospital and Taipei Children’s Hospital to form the Taipei Maternal and Child Care Hospital. Originally located in Section 2, Zhong-shang North Road, the hospital has experienced multiple reforms over its 27-year history. On July 1, 1999, the hospital was assigned under the Department of Health, and became “Taipei Hospital, Department of Health, Executive Yuan”.
Then, in accordance to the restructuring of the Executive Yuan, the Department of Health in combination with other social welfare agencies became the Ministry of Health and Welfare on July 23, 2013. Accordingly, Taipei Hospital was also renamed to “Taipei Hospital, Ministry of Health and Welfare”. Since its inception, Taipei Hospital upholds the patient-centered principle and see patients not merely as patients, but as family members.
Taipei Hospital is in possession of 371 general beds and 166 specialty beds. Moreover, it caters up to a maximum of 125 psychiatric daily care beds. Currently, there are 119 physicians on duty with total staff numbering at more than 1,200. As a public hospital, we emphasize on the needs of the society and carry social responsibilities of care for disadvantaged and minority groups. Under the excellent leadership of former Superintendents, the hospital is now well developed with the capacity in health promotion, preventive health, mid-to-long term care, and emergency and critical care.
