In his remarks, he pointed out that since its founding 100 years ago, NPUST has continuously focused on improving veterinary education and clinical technology— and the Affiliated Veterinary Teaching Hospital has earned societal recognition for its high-quality medical services.
The new campus is equipped with comprehensive equipment and will enhance medical efficiency and safety through standardized diagnostic procedures, segregated patient flow, and specialized services.
Director Li-Hsuan Lin explained that the new campus not only carries the achievements of the past century but also shoulders the three major missions of clinical teaching, animal healthcare, and social service in the present. It aims to hone students’ skills in a real clinical setting, provide more precise and high-efficiency medical care, and collaborate with community and non-profit organizations to promote animal welfare and life education.
NPUST faculty and students are deeply thankful to the alumni who made it possible for the new campus to be established through their generous support and donations. Following the ceremony, the medical team led the guests on a tour of core spaces, including the consultation rooms, operating rooms, and imaging center—showcasing the medical capacity and spatial design to the public and providing them with a deeper understanding of the new campus’s comprehensive features.
Through higher standards of medical guardianship and professional training, the university will continue to raise public awareness of animal welfare and establish a new animal healthcare base in Southern Taiwan that is professional, high-quality, and compassionate.
