Lo-Sheng Sanatorium is Taiwan's only isolated hospital for leprosy patients. In the past, the government forced 1,000 patients into isolation. This lasted through the colonial government, the National government, and the reformed democratic government. For more than 50 years, the patients have made Lo-Sheng their home.
In 2002, with the construction of the Mass Rapid Transition, the government once again forced patients to move out of Lo-Sheng, tearing it down for economic benefits.
