深化臺灣與澳洲瑪特醫院醫療合作情誼臺安醫院（Taiwan Adventist Hospital）與布里斯本瑪特醫院（Mater Hospital）醫療人員交流計畫圓滿落幕，展現出雙方在醫療與人文領域日益緊密的連結。
瑪特醫院長年以來都是昆士蘭台灣社群的重要醫療支柱，關懷僑民與其家庭的健康福祉。這段超過 35 年的深厚情誼，建立在相互尊重、慷慨分享與共同秉持「以愛關懷」的精神之上。
在為期一週的交流中，來自臺安醫院的兩位醫師與兩位護理師參訪了瑪特醫院旗下的臨床、教育與研究團隊，觀摩微創與機器人手術，了解臨床模擬訓練與醫療資訊創新，並深入交流醫院管理與護理人力發展經驗。他們也深刻體驗到瑪特醫院使命導向的慈善文化與醫療精神。
訪問期間，代表團亦受邀出席臺灣國慶晚宴，與僑界人士熱情互動，留下難忘回憶。
范厚祿處長特別於府上宴請代表團，於溫馨的氛圍中分享醫療交流成果，並誠摯感謝洪振榮大使的遠見推動，以及瑪特基金會榮譽贊助人傅Luca先生長期以來的支持與倡議，使這段跨國醫療合作得以蓬勃發展。
這份跨越國界的友誼，持續深化臺灣與澳洲社群之間的連結與情誼。
Strengthening Medical Ties Between Taiwan and Mater HospitalWe are delighted to share the success of the recent Medical Staff Exchange between Taiwan Adventist Hospital (TAH) and Mater Hospital in Brisbane — a Sister Hospital partnership that continues to flourish.
For over 35 years, Mater has been a trusted healthcare partner for the Taiwanese community in Queensland, caring for generations of Taiwanese migrants and their families. This enduring bond is built on mutual respect, generosity, and a shared spirit of compassionate care.
During the week-long program, two doctors and two nurses from TAH visited Mater’s hospitals, education, and research teams. They observed minimally invasive and robotic surgeries, explored clinical simulation and digital innovation, and exchanged ideas on hospital management and nursing workforce development. The team was deeply inspired by Mater’s mission-driven culture and strong tradition of philanthropy.
The delegation also joined the Taiwan National Day Celebrations in Brisbane, warmly engaging with members of the Taiwanese community — adding a special highlight to their visit.
Director-General William Fan was honoured to host the TAH delegation during their stay, expressing sincere appreciation to Ambassador Bruce Hung for his leadership in fostering this collaboration, and to Mr. Luca Fu, Patron of the Mater Foundation, for his continued advocacy and support.
This partnership not only advances medical excellence but also deepens friendship and understanding between Taiwan and Australia.
