MIE Health Examination Center

MIE Health Examination Center

1. The Origin

In order to meet customer preventive health care requirements, the

hospital established the health check-up ward in 1990. The initial plan

was based on a two-day health check-up. Later, to expand the

service to more people, and to provide a more comfortable

environment, the original location on the first floor was renovated in

2005, and moved to its present site in July, 2005. After the

renovation, it was able to provide more complete services, including

customer consultation prior to the physical examination, examination

of a corporation's personnel, and other customized services.

Furthermore, we arrange for any necessary referrals, track the health

check-up report, and suggest health seminars and other activities to

promote overall health.

2. Organization of the Center

The Health Examination Center is under the direction of the attending

cardiologist Ma Guang Yuan in October,2006. The staff includes the Departments of

Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Ophthalmology, ENT,

Dentistry, Radiology, and other general practitioners.

3. Environment and Equipment

Customers undergoing a health check-up can feel at home with little

tension and anxiety. Our center strives to provide a warm and

comfortable environment. The lobby and waiting areas have comfy

furniture, including sofas, dining tables and chairs. The rooms also

have a TV, books, newspapers, computers, and sports equipment for

the patient's family. In addition, there are a total of seven exclusive

single-patient suites that contain a bathroom, television, telephone

and so on.

Our center is equipped with three physical examination rooms, two

endoscopy rooms, a post-anesthesia care unit, a heart

electroretinogram room, and a pulmonary function room. The center

also contains ophthalmology, dentistry, ENT, and obstetricsgynecology

specialist clinics. The radiology department features an

exclusive patient waiting area and patient medical examination room.

These allow our valued patients to feel comfortable and to maintain

privacy.

4. Health Check-up Business

In addition to providing services to the general public at their own

expense, our customers include many well-known corporate staff,

executives, and overseas Chinese returning to Taiwan. To further

cross-industry alliances and develop different services, the center

approaches various companies and government agencies, promotes

health check-ups to businesses, gives lectures, and engages in other

activities. Customers of different ages and needs are provided with

customized health check-ups.

Health examination follow-up services include: patient health

management services, post-health check-up consultation, tracking

abnormal results, referral to other specialists for further examination

training. Gastroscopy room technicians annually accept Endoscopy

Society-related training.

The center's staff participate in seminars and lectures outside the
