History
The memorial house used to be a clinic for Wang King-ho, a doctor who had fought against blackfoot disease for 25 years by offering free medical services to patients from Beimen and the surrounding regions. Tainan County Magistrate Su Huan-chih and Department of Cultural Affairs Commissioner Ye Tzer-shan then proposed for the reconstruction of the clinic into a memorial house to preserve the history of the disease in Taiwan. Construction began in November 2006 and ended in September 2007. After inauguration, the memorial house was taken over by the Wang King-ho Culture and Arts Foundation.
Opening time
The memorial house is opened from Thursday to Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. free of charge.
