Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-Liang stated that his doctor's license would be revoked and his practice suspended in accordance with the law; regarding recent peeping incidents involving medical aesthetics, guidelines will be established to strengthen management.
Former National Taiwan University Hospital's renowned obstetrician, Cheng Wen-Fang, was accused of drugging three women in 2020 and 2021, respectively, followed by attempted sexual assault and successful indecent assault. He was indicted by prosecutors. During the North District Court's trial, Cheng absconded after being granted bail and was listed as a wanted fugitive. Police extradited him from Canada back to Taiwan, and the North District Court ordered his detention. Today, he was sentenced to 6 years and 9 months for obstructing sexual autonomy. The verdict can be appealed.
Shih Chung-Liang attended the "2026 International Nurses Day Joint Celebration Conference" today and, when interviewed by the media afterward, stated that Cheng's doctor's license would be revoked and his practice suspended based on the court's judgment.
Recently, several medical aesthetic clinics and groups in Taiwan have been successively exposed for allegedly secretly filming patients with pinhole cameras. Shih Chung-Liang said that in response, guidelines will be drafted to strengthen management regarding how medical institutions should comply with management regulations concerning video recording, photography, and the retention of photos or image files.
