evolution
In September 1957, the Administrative Council approved the establishment of the Health Center to provide outpatient diagnosis, medical care, health education, and other services. The University Health Committee was established in 1989 to further review and supervise campus health work.
Following the University Charter revision approved at the 97th interim meeting of the University Council on January 31, 2007, the Health Center was placed under the Office of Student Affairs that same year. To improve the quality of health care for faculty, staff, and students, a dedicated Health Center building was built and was completed on April 13, 2015. Meanwhile, the Lohas Clinics leased a space in NTNU to provide faculty, staff, and students with discounted medical registration fees. The Health Center’s business has transformed to focus on primary prevention and health promotion, committing to comprehensive health management, epidemic prevention, hygiene, and health care services for all faculty, staff, and students.
