Major western countries and the World Health Organization regard medical foundation as public hospitals, which are also referred to as medical foundation in Taiwan. A legal foundation or juridical person is an entity duly constituted or organized for the hotel’s establishment. Its main purpose is to engage in public interest activities; hence, it is considered a non-profit organization. However, there are some nonprofit hospital board members, who consider the hospitals as their own private property when in fact, they should represent the society in supervising and managing these hospitals. If they are unable to perform their duties effectively, the Ministry of Health and Welfare can have the board of directors dissolved. The Medical Care Act should also be amended, separating ownership of hospitals from that of private properties. Although hospitals’ resources can be used to purchase stocks, stock dividends should be included in the revenue of hospitals. Board members should neither be appointed as directors of companies that they have invested in nor exercise the right to vote. Moreover, they shouldn’t be involved in the business as shareholders. |
