Nagasaki Medical College

Nagasaki Medical College is a medical institution in the city offering research laboratories, medical libraries, and specialized clinical training areas. The campus contains collaborative learning spaces and facilities designed to support both theoretical study and practical medical education.

The institution was founded in 1923, growing out of Japan's first western-style medical school established by Professor J. L. C. Pompe van Meerdervoort. Despite the 1945 bombing, the college resumed operations and eventually restored its campus.

The college serves as a center for medical education focused on tropical disease research and regional healthcare challenges. This mission shapes how the institution connects its teaching and research work to the communities it serves.

The campus features modern research facilities and learning spaces available for visitors and students to explore. Before visiting specific areas, check which sections are open to the public, as some may require advance permission.

The college survived the 1945 atomic bombing and temporarily relocated to Omura and Isahaya before returning to its restored campus in 1950. This experience shapes the institution's identity and teaching focus even today.
