The 9 municipal hospitals in Kaohsiung City are responsible for promoting the city's medical and public health policies, the outpatient registration fee range of above hospitals are NT$50- NT$100, and the emergency registration fee range costs NT$100- NT$200, which are slightly lower than those of general hospitals and clinics.
Although the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on March 4 that it would stop applying the "reference range for registration fees charged for medical institutions", Mayor Chen immediately instructed to the core value of affirmative care in medical care for the disadvantaged and the accessibility of medical treatment to the public, registration fees for the 9 municipal hospitals of Kaohsiung City will not be increased.
