Hello,
Taoyuan Hospital will be launching a weight loss program in early April, which includes three days of exercise classes each week, along with nutrition education courses.
The first session will last for one month.
As for the fees and other details regarding the program, they have not yet been finalized, so we will email you the detailed information once everything is confirmed.

Additionally, our medical weight loss clinic is also in the planning stages, and we will provide you with updates via email once it is established.
There is also a nutrition clinic where you can register directly.
The clinic hours are on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, both morning and afternoon, and on Wednesdays in the morning (a total of 9 sessions per week).
For weight loss, there are 6 sessions available, with a consultation fee of 100 NTD for each nutrition consultation and a registration fee of 50 NTD.

Furthermore, the New House branch of Taoyuan Hospital will also start a weight loss program in April, lasting for 2 months.
This program is fully funded by the Taoyuan County Health Bureau, making it free of charge.
It includes both nutrition and exercise courses; however, participants must have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 27 or above, must be female, and must not have a history of heart, kidney, or diabetes issues.
If you are interested, you are welcome to visit the service desk on the first floor of the New House branch from Monday to Friday, either in the morning or afternoon, to undergo a physical assessment and register your personal information for submission to the health bureau for screening.
Sincerely,
Shih Kuei-Mei, Director of the Nutrition Department, Taoyuan Hospital, Department of Health, Executive Yuan

The fees for consultations may vary based on the patient's condition, so it is advisable to contact the hospital directly for precise information regarding costs.

In addition to individual consultations, Taoyuan Hospital also offers weight loss classes that combine the expertise of rehabilitation therapists and nutritionists.

It's important to note that weight loss is not solely about aesthetics; it can significantly impact overall health, especially for individuals with conditions such as fatty liver disease, which you mentioned.
