(Central News Agency reporter Hsiao Po-yang, Nantou County, 13th) The Nantou County Government today honored 21 veteran nurses from its Health Bureau (and subordinate units). Nantou County Magistrate Hsu Shu-hua stated that she is grateful to public health nurses for their dedication to public health work such as vaccination, chronic disease care, and screenings. The county government will continue to strive for more benefits for healthcare workers.
The Nantou County Government Health Bureau held an event today to celebrate Nurses' Day and honor veteran nurses from its Health Bureau (and subordinate units). Hsu Shu-hua attended and mentioned that whether it's promoting health in communities, preventing diseases, or standing on the front lines during the pandemic, public health nurses are indeed the strongest "health gatekeepers."
The three-shift nurse-patient ratio will be implemented in phases starting May 20, 2027. Hsu Shu-hua stated that with the official legislation of the three-shift nurse-patient ratio, the Ministry of Health and Welfare originally planned for its implementation on May 1, 2028, but President Lai Ching-te announced its earlier implementation in May 2027, which is a great help to nurses. She affirmed the central government's attention but noted that rural areas still severely lack nurses and require more attention and consideration from the central government.
Hsu Shu-hua pointed out that public health nurses are important bridges connecting policies with the public, making huge contributions in vaccinations, chronic disease care, health screenings, and various public health tasks. Through public recognition, more people can see the dedication and value of nurses. Additionally, in last year's performance evaluation of local health agencies, the Health Bureau received 9 first-place awards, and health care ranked first for 6 consecutive years, demonstrating outstanding achievements.
A nursing director surnamed Han from the Zhushan Township Health Office, who received a 20-year veteran nurse award, stated that over the years, she has been dedicated to promoting health education concepts for chronic diseases and infectious diseases, helping villagers understand how to care for their health. During the COVID-19 (2019 Coronavirus Disease) pandemic, nurses fully demonstrated their spirit of dedication, and with resources from the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Health Bureau, and support from superiors, she persevered.
