Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital (KMSH) was established in 1998, and has been run by Kaohsiung Medical University(KMU) for 20 years. This is the first case that a public hospital was operated by a private corporation and supported by private resources. This is also the first public hospital in Taiwan entrusted to a private medical center.
Located at an industrial area and a transportation hub for land, sea and air transportation, KMSH provides high-quality medical service to areas lacking medical resources, such as Siaogang, Wujia, Cianjhen, Cijin, Daliao, Linyuan, and other districts. KMSH is the only local teaching hospital that provides emergency service with the support of medical center, and thus reduces the gap of medical resources between Northern and Southern Kaohsiung. As KMSH is close to the airport, industrial area and Kaohsiung Harbor, it has become an important medical institution providing acute and critical care to local and foreign labor, new inhabitants and indigenous people in Southern Kaohsiung.
Since its establishment, KMSH has always seen itself as a guardian of the health of local communities, and will constantly provide quality-assured medical service to the communities by developing environmental and occupational medicine and reinforcing community-based medical service.
With dedication and social contribution, KMSH will take the social responsibility of a professional medical provider by offering community services and creating a good environment with holistic care. KMSH Core Value: CARE (Cooperation, Accountability, Reverence and Effectiveness).
