Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, hospital in Taiwan
Far Eastern Memorial Hospital is a full-service hospital in Banqiao District, New Taipei City, housed in a modern high-rise building with a large number of medical departments. It covers emergency care, outpatient clinics, and specialized treatments across multiple floors.
The hospital was founded to meet the growing need for medical care on the western side of greater Taipei, an area that saw rapid population growth in the second half of the 20th century. Over time it was expanded and updated to keep pace with rising demand.
The hospital is a familiar point of reference for people living in Banqiao, and locals often use it to orient themselves in the neighborhood. Visitors arriving for the first time will notice the steady flow of patients and families moving through the main entrance throughout the day.
The hospital has its own MRT station right at the building, which makes arriving by public transit straightforward. Those who come by car will find parking in the basement levels and outside, with reserved spaces for visitors with disabilities.
The hospital runs a dedicated paratransit service for people holding a valid disability card issued by New Taipei City, which is not a common offering among hospitals in the region. This makes getting to a medical appointment easier for those with mobility difficulties who might otherwise struggle with public transit.
