長慎醫院

Profile narrative

Chansn Hospital, also known as 長慎醫院, is a healthcare facility located in the Zhongli District of Taoyuan City, Taiwan. As a hospital, it provides a range of medical services to the local population, including general treatment, appointment booking, new patient intake, and prescription issuance. The institution serves residents of Taoyuan and surrounding areas, offering both inpatient and outpatient care according to the standard functions of a regional hospital. Its operations rely on integrated information technology systems to manage patient records, schedule appointments, and support clinical workflows. The hospital’s role in the community is to deliver essential health services and maintain continuity of care for patients seeking medical attention.

In April 2025, Chansn Hospital experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted its core medical operations and potentially compromised over 80,000 patient records. The incident prompted the hospital to activate emergency protocols, which included disconnecting internal and external networks, conducting a full systems scan, and filing a police report. Online registration services were unavailable for several days while staff reinstalled antivirus software and worked to restore the IT infrastructure, although patients could still register by telephone or in person. The attack affected appointment scheduling, new patient admissions, and the issuance of prescriptions, significantly impacting daily hospital functions. Local authorities and the Ministry of Health and Welfare monitored the situation, and a formal investigation was launched to determine the extent of any data breach and to assess the hospital’s response to the cyber incident.
