" Tzu Hui Vocational School of Nursing and Midwifery was founded by Ms. Li-Yan Tsai, a former councilor of Pingtung County, and others in August, 1964. The goal was to increase the health of the community services through the training of nursing professionals. " "In August 2000 Tzu Hui attained the status of an institute of technology through accreditation by a visiting inspection team and the Ministry of Education. This was outcome of the concerted efforts made by successive principals and staff of the School under the Chairman of the Board, Ms. Elda Shang Kuo, in responding to changes in the national education policies of Taiwan and to international trends in vocation training."
