Since 1966, accidental injury has been the third leading cause of death on Taiwan. For those 45 and under, it is the leading cause of death. This circumstance led CGMH to found a trauma center. Dr. Ray Jade Chen, director of the center, says that with the support of CGMH, the trauma center has been given six operating rooms, a 300-bed emergency ward and 22 intensivecare bed-spaces.
民國五十五年以來，意外事故一直佔據國人死亡原因的第三位，更是四十五歲以下死亡原因的首位，長庚醫院因此成立了急症及外傷外科中心，該中心主任陳瑞傑指出，外傷中心在長庚院方的支持之下，有六間開刀房，而且還有三百床的急診床位、二十二床急診加護病床做後盾。
