In the post-war period when a seemingly innumerable number of tasks were waiting to be carried out in Taiwan due to the ravages of infectious diseases, the Nationalist Government made public health and the prevention of such diseases an important policy for the revival of the country, and a series of preventive and curative measures were implemented from the central to local levels of government. From the 1950s to the 1970s, under the guidance of Soong Mei-ling 宋美齡 (1898–2003), the National Women’s League of the Republic of China 中華民國婦女聯合會, in addition to constructing and disseminating public health knowledge through their self-published periodical

中華婦女 (

), mobilized members to enter communities and military dependents’ villages to engage in health and medical counseling, disease treatment and performing vaccinations, as well as health inspections and conferring related awards. The contribution of the National Women’s League to environmental health spoke for itself, thereby equipment and facilities, public health during this period was ultimately unable to meet expectations.

Encountering Their Silhouettes: The Public Health Nurses of Public Health Centers Who Traveled through Households in Taiwan, (1950s–1970s)

Being a nurse, called
kangofu
看護婦, was a new occupation for women during the period of Taiwan under Japanese colonial rule, a profession which was only occupied by women until the 1980s. The promotion of public health work in Taiwan began during the Japanese colonial period, especially in the later part with the rise of health care workers,
hokenfu
保健婦, who can be viewed as the pioneers of Taiwan’s public health nurses. After the retrocession of Taiwan to the Republic of China in 1945, under the support of U.S. aid and government resources, the public health centers established throughout the township level became the most basic public health institution in Taiwan. Operating from these centers, public health nurses became mainly responsible for publicizing various health affairs, promoting the knowledge of health policies, preventive health care, maternal and pediatric health, as well as infectious disease prevention and control. In addition to performing these public health duties, one of the most important tasks of public health nurses was home visits. They utilized their female roles to establish relationships with housewives, and during the visits, they not only observed the living conditions of the families in question, but also disseminated “correct” health knowledge. Through archives, health magazines, work reports, and newspapers, this article demonstrates that when considering the training of public health nurses at public health centers as well as their public health work and home visit practices from the 1950s to 1970s, one can apprehend the image of these nurses and how public health knowledge was circulated between them and women in post-war Taiwan.

Women, Missionary Nurses, and Hospital Medicine: Chiayi Christian Hospital (1950s-1980s)
[Abstract]

Little research has been done on the importance of missionary nurses in the history of hospital medicine in postwar Taiwan. Utilizing Chiayi Christian Hospital’s archival materials, this article examines the history of Chiayi Christian Hospital and its missionary nurses in post-WWII Taiwan. In the context of post-war medical history, I argue that missionary hospitals were a part of the post-World War II development of hospital medicine, in which American trained missionary nurses were an essential part of the infrastructure, as surgery was much emphasized. Being eager to make the hospital comparable to their American counterparts, medical missionaries and hospital administrators worked to build a hospital that would meet the standards, including equipment, tools, drugs, and trained workers. At the time when there was a lack of trained nurses and those who were trained were not trained enough for the demands of the hospital work, missionary nurses’ training (especially nursing training in the operating room), language skills (communication with American surgeons), and, as Americans, they were familiar with resources, including medical supplies donated from the United States during the Cold War.
