◆  Rural and Tribal Medical Education【Healthcare】

PLANET focuses on the issue of "healthcare and education for rural tribes" and supported the work plan of the "Liqingshe Health and Medical Service Team of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University" in 2016, 2022 and 2023.

During the cold and summer seasons, PLANET went into the tribe to strengthen the popularization of community medicine to fill the areas that hospitals cannot reach, promote health education and health screening, and assist tribal residents in establishing healthy living habits, design educational camps tailored to the needs of schools and children and expand their perspectives on the future and thinking about career directions.

◆ Care for Children with ADHD【Healthcare】

Cooperation partner: Naivety ADHD Taiwan Association Federation

PLANET has long been concerned about children's physical and mental health issues and began supporting the Naivety ADHD Taiwan Association Federation in 2023. Research shows that the prevalence of hyperactivity disorder in children in Taiwan is 7.5-10%, with a gender ratio of 4:1, boys to girls. Many children may also suffer from learning disabilities and depression. This type of children is partially consistent with the children who have been funded by PLANET for 21 years in the "remedial education" and "psychological counseling" project for vulnerable students with emotional disorders. Therefore, PLANET hopes to provide support to these children with ADHD.

◆ Lung Disease Prevention and Treatment【Healthcare】

Cooperation object: Taiwan Lung Foundation

According to the 2021 Cancer Registration Report, lung cancer has risen to one of the top ten cancers in Taiwan. The Health Promotion Administration stated that the survival rate of patients with early lung cancer is over 90%, indicating the importance of early screening.

Changhua County, the hometown of the chairman, has the highest incidence of male lung cancer. In addition to being located in the downstream of the Taichung Thermal Power Plant, it produces factory exhaust gases from industrial areas as well as exhaust gases from diesel and gasoline locomotives, often ranking first in Taiwan's counties and cities with the worst air quality.

Therefore, PLANET has been engaged in long-term public welfare efforts for lung disease prevention and control and supporting the foundation through substantial donations to promote related work in lung disease prevention and control.

◆ Nursing Home【Eldercare】

In addition to long-term attention to children, PLANET also pays great attention to the physical and mental health care of the elderly. Based on this philosophy and the spirit of giving back to neighbors, PLANET has sent "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall" dish to the elderly nursing institution near the company for six consecutive years as of the end of the year. Although it is not a valuable gift, what is important is that this long-term and uninterrupted gift can help the elderly feel warm.
