He highlighted how their efforts allow Penghu residents, particularly those in remote areas like Xiyu Township, to receive quality medical care without the burden of extensive travel.

The Bamboo Bay Health Park, established in 2024 from a repurposed school, is being further developed by the Penghu County Government to enhance its care services. Future plans include integrating facilities for infant care, services for individuals with disabilities, and elder care centers, aiming to create a comprehensive healthcare environment and improve the quality of life for Xiyu residents.
Taipei Jen-Ai Hospital, an institution with 160 years of history in social welfare and medical services, has extended its free clinics to numerous remote islands in Penghu over the past eight years. This year's event at the Bamboo Bay Health Park featured specialist consultations in breast surgery, internal medicine, and rehabilitation, along with various diagnostic services such as ultrasounds and bone density tests. The initiative also incorporated health education outreach from the County Health Bureau.
Thank you for crossing the sea for free medical services for eight consecutive years, allowing Xiyu residents to receive comprehensive medical examination services nearby.
