In accordance with Article 28, Paragraph 2, Item 6 of the Medical Act Enforcement Regulations, medical social workers are required to work in hospitals. Medical social work considers holistic healing, the four aspects of spiritual, physical, mental and social health in order to help patients and their families. In addition, based on our professional knowledge and various experiences, we help patients with problem solving, so that they can function normally after discharge from the hospital.
