彰化基督教醫院(彰基)與巴布亞紐幾內亞(簡稱巴紐)拉包爾省Nonga醫院自2016年起展開合作,惟於2020年因疫情暫停。事隔五年後,彰基醫療團於2025年10月7日至19日再次前往Nonga醫院,重啟雙邊醫療服務與交流。期間,拉包爾省Nonga醫院亦升格為東新不列顛省衛生局(East New Britain Provincial Health Authority, ENBPHA),雙方並更新合作備忘錄(MoU),持續深化醫護人員培訓與專業交流。
此次醫療團由彰基海外醫療中心執行長高小玲博士率領,團員包括胸腔內科張時榮醫師、心臟內科林芸醫師、骨科石久煜醫師、耳鼻喉科林耕緯醫師、營養師林易澂及管理師鄭涴玹。醫療團抵達後受到Nonga醫院熱烈歡迎,期間舉辦多場專題講座,分享骨科、耳鼻喉科、心臟內科及胸腔內科之新技術與臨床指引。此外,團隊亦前往Divine Word University附設St. Mary護理學校,開設癌症營養衛教講座,協助師生建立正確的臨床營養觀念,獲得熱烈迴響。
醫療團亦經由首都莫士比港醫院(Port Moresby General Hospital, PMGH)引介,前往中央省Kwikila醫院進行參訪與交流,了解當地醫療需求並評估後續合作方向。同時,彰基並邀請Kwikila醫院院長Dr. Ovia與國家首都區省級醫院院長Dr. Robin來台參訪,除參觀智慧醫院及醫療系統外,亦將出席今年度台灣醫療科技展(Taiwan Healthcare+ Expo),親身體驗台灣智慧醫療產品與技術成果。
Changhua Christian Hospital (CCH) has collaborated with Nonga Hospital in Rabaul Province, Papua New Guinea (PNG) since 2016. The partnership was temporarily suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic. After a five-year hiatus, the CCH medical team returned to Nonga Hospital from October 7 to 19, 2025, to resume medical service and professional exchange.
During this visit, Nonga Hospital was officially upgraded to the East New Britain Provincial Health Authority (ENBPHA). CCH and ENBPHA renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further strengthen cooperation in healthcare personnel training and professional development.
The mission was led by Dr. Hsiao-Ling (Nina) Kao, Executive Director of the Overseas Medical Mission Center at CCH. The team members included Dr. Shih-Jung Chang (Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine), Dr. Yun Lin (Cardiology), Dr. Chiu-Yu Shih (Orthopedics), Dr. Keng-Wei Lin (Otolaryngology), Dietitian I-Cheng Lin, and Ms Wan-Hsuan Cheng (PM).
The team received a warm welcome from Nonga Hospital. They delivered multiple lectures and workshops, sharing the latest clinical updates and best practices in orthopedics, otolaryngology, cardiology, and pulmonary medicine. In addition, the team visited St. Mary’s School of Nursing, affiliated with Divine Word University, to conduct a nutrition education seminar focused on cancer nutrition, helping nursing faculty and students build accurate and practical nutrition knowledge — an event that was met with enthusiastic response.
Through the introduction of Port Moresby General Hospital (PMGH), the team also visited Kwikila Hospital in Central Province to explore potential collaboration and assess medical needs. Furthermore, Dr. Ovia, Director of Kwikila Hospital, and Dr. Robin, Director of the National Capital District Provincial Hospital, have been invited to visit Taiwan. Their visit will include tours of smart hospitals and health information systems, as well as participation in the Taiwan Healthcare+ Expo, where they will experience Taiwan’s latest smart healthcare technologies and innovations firsthand.
