[Reporter Tang Shiming/Changhua Report] Former Changhua Christian Hospital president Guo Shouren and former vice president Lai Jianwen were detained for breach of trust. The Changhua District Prosecutor's Office today (9th) indicted and specifically requested a seven-year sentence. In 2017, when Stanley Kwok was in office, the net medical profit was negative. He was an advocate of medical technology's "Westward Expansion into China". However, Stanley's profits declined sharply, and he was once on the verge of being unable to pay his salary. It wasn't until the current chief president Chen Mu-kuan took over, cutting off the money-burning westward China policy and focusing on the medical industry, that profits improved significantly. In 2021, it ranked 9th among Taiwan's most profitable hospitals, spending 6 billion yuan to build a proton building; this year (2026), the year-end bonus for the general hospital's medical staff reached a record high of 3.5 months.

Guo Shouren is one of the country's authoritative breast cancer doctors, but when he was President Chang Kei, he actively cooperated with Chinese hospitals. He was an advocate of "Going West to China" and used medical technology to cooperate with Chinese hospitals to earn RMB. The actual situation was contrary to expectations, and Changji's profits declined sharply. Since President Chen Mukuan took office in 2018, he has cut off the money-burning westward China policy and focused on the medical industry, which has allowed the industry's revenue to close the financial gap of a loss of 12 million yuan in 2017, and has shown surpluses year by year.

When the epidemic tsunami hit in 2021, Chen Mukuan decisively cut off the unprofitable westward China policy. The hospital's procurement is decided by an independent procurement selection committee that is elected every two years, and the hospital director is not involved in the procurement. The Department of National Health Insurance has compiled financial statements for 225 medical institutions in Taiwan that have received health insurance expenses of more than NT$200 million, including the list of the top 20 profitable hospitals and the top 10 unprofitable hospitals. The overall profitability includes the overall revenue and expenditure balance, as well as the ranking of internal and external revenue and expenditure. Changji's performance is outstanding, with the overall internal and external revenue and expenditure balance of NT$1.098 billion, ranking 9th in the country.

In recent years, Changhua Christian Hospital has spent up to 6 billion yuan to build a cancer proton medical building. This huge amount of money was built by Changhua itself in cash without large-scale financing, demonstrating its strong financial strength.

After Chen Mukuan, the general director of Changji, took office in 2018, the hospital began to turn a profit, making Changji a golden goose mother in the medical community. (File photo)
