Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital-Preface

:::

Preface

We focus our efforts on the following

The assumption of greater responsibility as a public medical center providing southern Taiwan with quality healthcare, education, and research.
Having passed many stringent evaluations, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital (KSVGH) has been accredited as a government medical center whose mission is to provide the best medical care to the people of Taiwan, responsibly educate healthcare professionals, and undertake research leading to progress in many fields, including science, medicine, nursing and health. We undertake these goals to provide leading edge health care, perform prominent research and develop medical teams dedicated to the furtherance of translational medicine.

The advancement of public health and implementation of government medical service policy. Despite decreases in subsidies, KSVGH, the only public medical center in the southern area, continues to serve the public. We coordinate with the official health authorities to implement policies and serve as a leader of medical service improvement standards throughout the community and the region.

The continuance of our role as a veterans hospital to protect and care for our veterans and their families. Although there in a reduction in the number military personnel serving our armed forces and the number of veterans, KSVGH continues to guard the health of those who have guarded and defended us. We continue the mission assigned to us by the Veterans Affairs Council (VAC) which is to integrate medical services networks for veterans in the southern area and to continually provide veterans and their families with personalized, prompt, reliable and high quality health care.
