The dedicated Plant Physician Act is preparing to make another attempt at the Executive Yuan next month. The Council of Agriculture is assisting National Chung Hsing University in establishing Taiwan's first plant hospital, hoping that alongside the legislative process, the plant hospital can be operated in practice to complete the subsequent diagnostic and medical care systems.
