President Lai Ching-te on Thursday attended the groundbreaking ceremony for a new building at National Taiwan University Hospital’s Jinshan Branch in New Taipei’s north coast. Once completed, the new building will also house a long-term care center. To drum up support for the year-end local elections, the president invited the DPP’s mayoral candidates for New Taipei and neighboring Keelung to the ceremony. He also credited the hospital’s origin to ex-Premier Su Tseng-chang, who was then-Taipei County Commissioner.

Here’s the deal. This is our plan: if construction is completed on schedule, before Lunar New Year in 2029, which should normally be in February, we’ll subsidize NT$100 million.
The president invited DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui to the event, while also recognizing the hospital’s origin, which traces back to her father Su Tseng-chang’s term as commissioner for then-Taipei County.

It used to be the North Coast Jin-Shan Hospital Foundation. It wasn’t easy to recruit doctors back then, not to mention retain them. When former Premier Su Tseng-chang took office as Taipei County Commissioner at the time, he supported administrative and construction works. Later, as Premier under President Chen Shui-bian, he coordinated with National Taiwan University and NTU Hospital to incorporate this hospital into their system.

In the future, I hope to attract and retain local talents with subsidies and bonuses for local medical practitioners, so that we can boost the north coast’s healthcare capacity and allow local residents healthy and decent lives.
Lai also invited Keelung mayoral candidate Tung Tzu-wei, for a rare public appearance between the distant relatives.
Tung Tzu-wei
Keelung mayoral candidate (DPP)
We’re in Jinshan, which is right next to the president’s hometown and Keelung. The three places form a neighborhood. I’m very grateful that the president is so dedicated to advancing the development of Northern Taiwan.
The DPP hopes to join forces in healthcare at the grassroots and bring neighboring communities in the north coast together.

“本來是用財團法人，北海岸金山醫院，那時候醫師不好找，找到了也留不住，蘇貞昌院長上任的時候，因為他當時台北縣縣長，在行政工作上，興建的時候予以協助，然後他當院長的時候也協調，也協調就是台灣大學，還有台大醫院，能夠進入承接這個醫院”
