In the 1970's,
Taiwan enjoyed a prospering economy and a rapidly rising living
standard. However, despite this increase in the country's wealth,
the quality of Taiwan's medical services and the advancement
of technologies still lagged significantly behind. Not only
were there limited institutions that offered training to the
local medical graduate students, those who went abroad for further
training also found themselves unable to put to use their acquired
skills and knowledge. Thus, the demand for medical services
in Taiwan remained unmet. |

In pursuit
to provide the people of Taiwan with high quality healthcare,
Formosa Plastic Group Chairman Yung-Ching Wang and President
Yung-Tsai Wang established Chang Gung Memorial.Hospital (CGMH)
in 1976 in memory of their father,Mr. |
| |
Chang-Gung Wang. During the early periods of its
establishment, CGMH had played the role as a mediating center
that introduced modern medical knowledge and technologies from
around the world to Taiwan, now it aspires tobecome a world
class medical center. Our physicians, nursing staffs and medical
allies work closely as a team to provide our patients with complete
physical, psychological and social care. |

Moreover,
in order to meet the people's growing demands for medical services,
our hospitals were built in Keelung and Kaohsiung following
those in Taipei & Linkou. Also, Chang-Gung Institute of
Nursing and Chang-Gung University were established. The University
and the Hospital work effectively together by complementing
each other and its collaboration facilitates both basic research
and clinical medicine. |

grown in terms of facilities and the number of patients, and
the quality of services provided |

has also improved to meet international standards.To
go from scratch to a world-class teaching hospital in 20 short
years is an outstanding achievement. In managing CGMH, we have
always been patient-oriented, putting the needs of our patients
as our top concerns. By providing better services with lower
costs, we have gained confidence from our patients. Today, while
CGMH has 6800 beds and serves 27000out-patients a day island-wide,
we are still constantly striving to improve ourselves in services,
teaching and research. |
