In the modern history of Taiwan, Penghu Island was officially noticed by the problem of leprosy endemic. When the colonial government launched leprosy investigations in colonial Taiwan, then pay attention to leprosy endemic in Penghu Island. In 1930, the colonial government founded Lo-sheng Leprosarium, to implement leprosy control measures. Until 1945, the isolated inpatients in Lo-sheng Leprosarium were in high proportion from Penghu Island. Since post World War II, with the transformation of leprosy policy, institutional isolation of Penghu patients began to change. Since the 1950s, when USAID health programs launched, American physicians Dr. Richard Hofstra and Miss Marjorie Bly went to Penghu Island, to practice a local medical clinic program. And they then created a local outpatient clinic -Ma-gong special dermatology clinic. Since then, this clinic is not only a missionary medical model in Penghu, but also a paradigm of policy transformation of Hansen disease in post-World War II Taiwan. |
