According to Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the "Regulations on Health Examination Management for Employed Foreigners," migrant workers engaged in work specified under Items 8 to 10, Paragraph 1, Article 46 of the "Employment Service Act" are required to undergo periodic health examinations. These must be completed within three days after entering Taiwan, and subsequently at 6 months, 18 months, and 30 months. The health checks include a physical examination, Hansen’s disease screening, syphilis serology, chest X-ray for tuberculosis, stool test for intestinal parasites, and antibody tests for measles and rubella.
Golden Brother International Co., Ltd., in caring for the physical health of its migrant workers, not only arranges for regular medical examinations at designated hospitals as mandated by regulations but also periodically invites medical organizations to conduct onsite examinations for necessary items at the company. This aims to achieve early detection and early treatment through preventive medicine. This time, with the great support of Dr. Chien-Ming Chen, President of the Hsin-Chu Medical Clinics Association, Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. collaborated with Cambridge Laboratory to offer free health screenings for migrant workers on April 25th. The services were available from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. The examinations included "blood glucose and lipid profile," "urinalysis," and "liver and kidney function tests." Additional tests were also available based on individual needs to help maintain workers’ health.
We sincerely thank Dr. Chien-Ming Chen for his assistance, as well as the ten laboratory technicians from Cambridge Laboratory for their dedication and hard work. The health checks were conducted at the Minghu Hall, where the workers reside. A total of 318 individuals participated, including 10 local employees of our company. In June, the second and third rounds of health check services will be organized at Fuqun 2nd Dormitory and Zhonghua 1st Dormitory in Hsinchu, respectively. Migrant workers will be notified separately and are encouraged to make full use of the services provided by Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. We would also like to express our deep gratitude to our colleagues at the Minghu Hall — Ming-Neng Liu, Wan-Chun Cheng, Chun-Fu Peng, and Hsin-Te Lee — for their tireless efforts and dedication.
We sincerely hope that with the care and services provided by Golden Brother International Co., Ltd. and the employers, all migrant workers can maintain their physical and mental health during their service period in Taiwan and share the fruits of their hard work with family and friends back home.
