Chiangsan Hospital Adjusts Service Model Due to Doctor Shortage, Directs Non-Critical Patients to Nearby Health Centers Amid Staffing Constraints
May 21, 2025 – Chiangsan Hospital announced an important service notice regarding operations during the current physician shortage. The announcement states:
Dear Community Members and Patients,
During June, Chiangsan Hospital is experiencing a doctor shortage (four physicians have resigned and pursued further studies). The hospital is currently waiting for additional physician assignments from the central authority. Although the hospital has requested physician support from partner hospitals, many areas face similar challenges, creating staffing limitations.
Therefore, the hospital must temporarily adjust its service model, which may result in longer wait times. We must prioritize emergency and critical patients. Non-Critical Illness: Patients with minor health issues are asked to seek initial treatment at nearby health stations, clinics, or quality pharmacies in their area. Emergency/Critical Illness: The hospital will continue to operate emergency services 24 hours daily as usual.
For patients visiting the hospital, please allow extra time for service. The hospital apologizes for any inconvenience.
