The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Taitung Christian Hospital recently welcomed its second female OB-GYN, Dr. Lin Ya-chu. What makes her arrival even more remarkable is that Dr Huang Wen-chang, who works in the same department, was the physician who oversaw her delivery decades ago! Though spanning generations, the doctor and the baby he once delivered have now become unlikely colleagues.

Her hair tied back into a ponytail, Dr. Lin Ya-chu conducts an ultrasound for a pregnant patient in her consultation room. Hailing from the Puyuma village of Mulivelivek, she recently returned home to serve her community.

Lin Ya-chu
Taitung Christian Hospital physician
After leaving Taitung, I lost my cultural identity. Even though I was working hard elsewhere and had a decent job in a respectable position, ultimately, I couldn’t find a place where I felt truly at home.

Dr Huang Wen-chang standing beside Dr. Lin is just as excited she came back home to practice medicine. Many years ago, he was the one who brought her into the world.

Lin Ya-chu
Taitung Christian Hospital physician
There’s a very senior physician here. I looked up his name and found out he’s the one who delivered me. It’s incredible.

Huang Wen-chang
Taitung Christian Hospital physician
I’m so touched and excited. Being able to serve the people of Taitung together is a truly moving experience.

Dr. Huang said that when he first learned Dr. Lin was coming back to Taitung, he had already guessed at the coincidence, since he’s delivered most of the children in her home village. He also offered some advice to his young colleague.

Huang Wen-chang
Taitung Christian Hospital physician
Treat patients with dedication, enjoy life, and throw yourself into learning new things.

Lin Ya-chu
Taitung Christian Hospital physician
Serving in Taitung was always my goal. I already had that thought back when I was applying for university.

The OB-GYN department at Taitung Christian Hospital has a valuable new addition, as Dr. Lin fulfills her dream of returning to serve her community. Making history as Taiwan’s first coincidence of its kind, their story marks a heartwarming new chapter for their team.
