Abstract
*Corresponding author. Department of Pediatrics, Saint Mary’s Hospital, Luodong, Yilan, Taiwan. E-mail: hclue@smh.org.tw The grand opening of the National Taiwan University (NTU) Children’s Hospital takes place on the 27th of December 2008, marking a milestone in the history of child health care in Taiwan. On this epoch-making occasion, I would like to extend my cordial congratulations and best wishes to all the staff of the Hospital. Children under the age 18 in Taiwan, totalling 5,311,421, at the and of 2007, represent one quarter of Taiwan’s population.1 Children today are the masters of tomorrow. They are entitled to our special care and assistance.2,3 It is timely, therefore, to discuss the mission of the NTU Children’s Hospital and explore some current and future child health issues.
