台灣天主教醫療史的發展,由不同的觀點下出發,從城市到偏鄉,足跡踏進了台灣各地,以信仰當後盾,無私的奉獻大愛。
輔仁大學是天主教會在臺灣設立之第一所綜合大學,自1925年創校迄今,以敬天愛人之精神,為全人教育而努力。本校醫學院更秉持著天主教的慈愛精神,努力培育具有專業醫學素養與人文關懷兼備的學生,為使醫學院的精神可以更加延伸與實踐,本校多年來一直積極籌劃建立附設醫院。
而今,隨著附設醫院於2017年竣工,天主教在臺灣的醫療發展將邁向新的里程碑,為了讓大家更加瞭解天主教在臺灣醫療領域的發展,因此特別設置「臺灣天主教醫療史」展區。
此展區將呈現臺灣在地天主教醫院的歷史與演進,從一群信仰天主的神父與修女登島,篳路藍縷籌建診所與醫療處所,幫助資源匱乏的村落對抗惡疾,一直到都市機能完善,民眾就醫方便的今日,讓我們一起從中體會並且醒思神職人員們的愛人與無私奉獻的精神。

Development of Catholic Hospitals in Taiwan
Fu Jen Catholic University was the first comprehensive university established by the Catholic Church in Taiwan. Since its founding in 1925, FJU has been committed to offering a holistic education based on a respect for both nature and humanity. The college of Medicine at FJU is devoted to upholding the Catholic principles of love and kindness, and aims to cultivate in their students both professional medical skills and the concept of humanistic care. FJU has been planning for the establishment of an attached hospital for many years, in order to extend and help realize the mission of the College.
The hospital is set to open in 2017 and will mark yet another milestone for Catholic medical practice in Taiwan. This part of the exhibition is designed to give people a better understanding of the development of Catholic medical practice in Taiwan.
The exhibition presents the history and evolution of local Catholic hospitals in Taiwan, beginning with the arrival of a few devout priests and nuns, their hardships in establishing clinics and medical centers, and their struggle to help villages that were suffering from a lock of resources to tackle diseases. It all leads up to the advanced urban functions of today, which provide convenient public medical services. The exhibition paints a picture of the love and devotion the Catholic clergy has shown and continues to show for their fellow humans.
