The Chang Bing Show Chwan Memorial Hospital is strategically located in underserved rural communities alone the west coast of Taiwan. We are particularly excited to have the honor of hosting the event in Taiwan to promote health literacy, which is especially important in our continuous health services in these communities. Another unique achievements of us is the success of our minimally invasive surgery training center, Ircad Taiwan, with the technique demonstrated to be most useful in serving the patients of difficult access. The Ircard Taiwan has trained more than 15,000 professionals in our center over the past 14 years, with over half from different Asian countries, such as Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, and so on. We truly value and welcome international collaborations and exchanges, which are vital for the advancements of healthcare in the coming future.
