Abstract
This thesis intends to explore the history of the development of Mackay Memorial Hospital in the Japanese colonial period, by discussing how the hospital transformed from Mackay Mission Hospital to Mackay Memorial Hospital, its historical background and other changing factors.
At first, I will give a brief introduction to the medical mission work in Taiwan during the 19th and 20th century. Then I will focus on Dr. Mackay’s medical mission work in northern Taiwan-his cooperation with those resident medical men of English community and the founding of Mackay Mission Hospital. After Dr. Mackay’s death, Dr. J.Y. Ferguson took charge of Mackay Mission Hospital. In the meantime Taiwan was occupied by Japan. Ferguson had great contribution to both Mackay Mission Hospital and Mackay Memorial Hospital, and left lots of sources about the two hospitals in The Presbyterian Record. In Chapters 2 and 3, I analyze these sources and it indicates that Dr. Ferguson had been eager to establish a brand new hospital.
This thesis also contains records from Japanese medical law, trying to compare them with Medical Missionaries’ sources. The conclusion then points out that Japanese government’s medical policy affected Mackay Mission Hospital greatly, pushing it become Mackay Memorial Hospital. This transition led to the secularization of the hospital’s management.
