Description of Our Community: It was quite a hard job. But words just fail to convey how excited I was when I successfully completed it.쳌h Indeed, during his tenure as the Director-General, he laid and promulgated numerous huge projects, including notably the Medical Treatment Law, medical service networks, collective medical care centers, provincial and municipal hospital reform쳌c which were all successfully enforced one after another during his office. 쳌gHe showed one prominent unique attribute: He always enacted and launched huge projects. When he headed the Taiwan Provincial Department of Health, all projects he launched were huge ones ranging from five, six to ten years쳌h. Such projects did not have their results seen instantly. But without such huge projects, the sanitary environments you can see today in Taiwan would have been entirely different.
쳌@쳌@Such huge dreams of 쳌gmedical care networks쳌h had been fostered quietly in his mind. That was a three-phase project covering enforcement for fifteen years, with Phase I July 1985~June 1990; Phase II till June 1995 and Phase III till 2000. Such project is still being enforced even today. The Taiwan Medical Care Network is indeed a brilliant idea. The project graded hospitals into varied levels based on the difficulty level. The idea of 쳌gVisiting a small clinic for a minor disease and visiting no large hospital except a major one쳌h was proposed during his office but was not successfully carried out during his tenure. Even today, both health authorities and insurance companies have tried hard to have such Project faithfully fulfilled.
