She’s gone to the front lines in Ukraine multiple times to provide medical support, with her heroic efforts earning her the Ten Outstanding Young Women Award. Explaining her move from medicine into politics, Wu said she wishes to emulate Dr. MacKay and leverage her medical values to create policies that can help more people. This candidate for Taitung County’s first council district, Wu Pei-shan, is also an ER doctor at Taitung MacKay Memorial Hospital. She said she decided to go into politics to carry forward the spirit of Dr. MacKay himself. Wu Pei-shan Councilor candidate/ER doctor Dr. MacKay said he would “rather burn out than rust out.” From the start, my belief has been that we only have one life, so we should use it as much as we can. Wu has signed life-and-death waivers six times to provide medical support in Ukraine, and for 10 years has traveled to the remote villages and islands of Taitung practicing medicine. After already winning the Young Sustainability Leader Award, she also won the Ten Outstanding Young Women Award this year. Wu Pei-shan Councilor candidate/ER doctor Working on the front lines helps me see the issues more clearly to inform my policymaking. I hope to have the opportunity to create change and better the lives of people in Taitung. Colleague Admires Wu She’s often working in the emergency room and is extremely enthusiastic. She’s the kind of doctor who’s exceptionally dedicated. Wu is one of 17 candidates hoping to fill 10 seats in Taitung’s first district. As most are veterans with established voter bases, along with prominent newcomers such as County Commissioner Yao Ching-lin’s sister, Yao Ching-yu, and Legislator Huang Jen’s wife, Wang Chun-mei, it’s shaping up to be a fierce contest.
