Mackay Mission Hospital, Historic medical site in Tamsui, Taiwan.
The Mackay Mission Hospital building, constructed in the 1870s, features traditional Taiwanese architectural elements integrated with Western medical facility design principles.
George Leslie Mackay established this hospital in 1879 as the first Western medical institution in northern Taiwan, treating patients while training local medical practitioners.
The hospital building represents the intersection of Canadian Presbyterian missionary work and Taiwanese medical advancement during the late nineteenth century.
Located near the Tamsui River, the historic structure maintains its original medical equipment and furniture, allowing visitors to understand nineteenth-century healthcare practices.
The hospital's dental clinic extracted over 20,000 teeth during its operation, making it the primary dental care facility in northern Taiwan at that time.
