臺灣的醫療保健，早為國際推崇與肯定，政府近年來也大力推展醫療產業國際化政策。臺大醫院百年以來不僅居臺灣醫療界的第一品牌，亦創下多項世界或亞洲臨床首例，享譽國際；除了一般醫療外，臺大醫院在肝炎、器官移植、癌症診斷治療、生醫光電、免疫、心臟血管、不孕症及各類微創手術等方面，具有被國際肯定的研究成果及技術水準。從國際醫療的角度來看，臺大醫院的醫療技術與醫療品質可與歐美先進國家比美，但醫療價格及品質更具競爭力，國際人士選擇至臺大醫院就醫，可以得到合理價位、高品質的醫療服務。

臺大醫院配合政府政策，於2005年11月4日成立國際醫療中心（NTUH International Medical Service Center），推動國際醫療業務，主要任務為：

• 開辦「國際特約醫療服務」，協助國際人士至本院就醫。
• 輸出本院醫療技術，和其他國家建立交流合作關係，協助發展中的國家提升其醫療水準。
• 協助政府拓展醫療外交，建立國際醫療聯繫與合作網絡。

目前國際醫療中心設有執行長1名，護理兼行政主管1名、護理師4名及行政人員1名，主要是扮演國際醫療事務窗口的角色，聯繫整合臺大醫院的醫療及人力資源，以達成上述任務。
