To better address the medical needs of elderly residents in remote mountain areas—particularly those who are living alone, bedridden, or with limited mobility—medical professionals take the initiative to reach out, traveling deep into Indigenous communities such as Dabang and Tefuye. Physicians personally drive to patients’ homes, accompanied by one or two nurses, and provide care with essential medical equipment.
Although each journey may take one to two hours along winding and hazardous mountain roads, often compounded by unpredictable weather, dense fog, and the risk of falling rocks, the medical team remains steadfast. Guided by the belief that "we should do what is right and keep going," they devote themselves wholeheartedly to this challenging yet indispensable path of care.

In recent years, the Alishan Medical Station has also introduced telemedicine services, connecting with the ophthalmology and dermatology departments of the St. Martin De Porres Hospital Daya Campus. By overcoming the limitations of time, space, and distance, these services significantly reduce the burden of long and exhausting travel for patients who would otherwise need to descend the mountains for care.
Telemedicine has greatly improved access to medical services for elderly and mobility-impaired patients, while also enabling continuous monitoring and management of medical conditions. More importantly, it allows for the early detection of potential health issues and the timely delivery of appropriate medical advice—creating a more efficient and sustainable model of care for mountain communities.
