Min-Sheng General Hospital was founded by Dr. Yang Min-Sheng in 1975. A doctor at
National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), Yang wanted to bring to his home town of Taoyuan the quality of care for which many inhabitants of the city had to travel to Taipei. The hospital has grown from a 17-bed dispensary to become a state-of-the-art 600-bed tertiary facility offering the complete range of medical services. Min-Sheng General Hospital still has close links with NTUH to which it refers transplant patients and exchanges physicians for cross-training. More than 80% of its physicians graduated from the prestigious university. Min-Sheng General Hospital specializes in minimally invasive surgeries and was one of the first hospitals in Asia to set up a center dedicated to endoscopic procedures. In 1997 the hospital was incorporated into
MissionCare Inc., to generate the capital necessary for its expansion. The hospital's Ching Kuo Campus is now at the center of the MissionCare group of six hospitals, four long-term care centers, as well as hospital consulting, management and logistics companies.
Ching-Kuo Campus Building The current Min-Sheng General Hospital building was officially opened for service in 2001. This new building has twenty floors above ground (the elevators indicate twenty-three floors; the fourth, ninth and thirteenth floor do not exist to reflect Chinese customs and superstitions) and seven floors underground. It has a surface of 76,000 square meters. On the hospital's grounds is a garden which design incorporates elements of Chinese
Feng Shui such as water fountains and curved walls. In 2007, the management of Min-Sheng General Hospital sold the Ching-Kuo building to ING Life Taiwan in what is still the first and only "sell and lease back" transaction of this kind for a hospital in Asia. The proceeds of this sale have enabled MissionCare, the group to which the hospital belongs, to finance its expansion and acquisitions. ==Accreditations and international healthcare==
