The controversy surrounding Zhongrong's substitute knife expanded further, and the former directors of the Department of Surgery were accused one after another. The hospital took action.

A controversy broke out at the Neurosurgery Department of Taichung Wing General Hospital. Two directors and three vendors involved in the case were sentenced and suspended. However, the turmoil has not subsided. Not only has a video surfaced on the Internet alleging that Director of Neurosurgery Zou Xikai asked a vendor to perform surgery on his behalf, but some media have also exposed the former surgical director. Director Shen Jiongqi also asked manufacturers to perform the knife for him before he retired. In response to this, Zhongrongjin responded that both cases alleged that incidents were suspected to have occurred many years ago. The authenticity of the relevant images still needs to be verified and professionally appraised. The relevant information will be transferred to the inspection agency for investigation to clarify the truth.

Zhongrong responded to the case of two doctors being accused of letting manufacturers perform surgery on their behalf. The hospital immediately asked the Political Affairs Office to investigate and set up a special investigation team. A meeting was held this morning (3rd).

Zhongrong stated that both cases allege incidents that were suspected to have occurred many years ago. The authenticity of the people, time, place and content involved in the relevant images still needs further verification and professional appraisal. Upon the resolution of the special investigation team, the relevant information will be transferred to the inspection and investigation agency for in-depth investigation to clarify the truth.

Zhongrong reiterates that any suspected violation of medical regulations and patient safety will be dealt with in accordance with the law and will not be tolerated in vain. It emphasizes that since the beginning of this year, under the guidance of the Central Municipal Health Bureau and the Ministry of Health and Welfare, it has comprehensively strengthened the standard operating procedures (SOP) for operating room management, personnel access control and audit reporting mechanisms to strictly prevent similar incidents from happening again, ensure patient safety, and ask the public to rest assured.
