During the Japanese colonial period, modern Western medicine was established in Taiwan. Public hospitals and medical schools were established to train doctors. The doctors who cared for the people of Chiayi contributed to the city's cultural history and streetscape.
The Taiwan Library conducted the "Old Clinic Story Writing Project" from 2018 to 2020. By combining architecture, objects, and stories, they presented the medical history of Chiayi City. This exhibition focuses on people (healers), space (clinics), and the city (doctor towns) to showcase the uniqueness of grassroots medical culture in Chiayi City and look to the future.
