National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) provides a robust and inclusive framework for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, ensuring that all campus members have access to professional medical care, preventative resources, and comprehensive education. This holistic approach is managed through the collaboration of NCKU Hospital, the Student Affairs Health Care Division, and the Gender Equity Education Committee.
At the clinical level, NCKU Hospital serves as a primary hub for reproductive health. The Reproductive Medicine Center and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology offer specialized services ranging from fertility treatments to routine gynecological care. On campus, the Health Care Division complements these services by providing practical preventative measures, such as anonymous HIV testing referral services and education on condom use. These initiatives are designed to lower the barriers to seeking help while maintaining student privacy and dignity. Furthermore, the university maintains a dedicated STD/STI Specialty Section on its website, providing clear, medically-vetted information to combat misinformation.
Education and awareness are central to NCKU’s strategy. The Gender Equity Education Committee plays a pivotal role in fostering a safe and respectful campus culture. Through the "2025 Gender Equity Activity Overview," including the "114 Gender Film Festival" and "Taiwan Girls' Day" events, the university uses multimedia and post-screening discussions to explore diverse gender issues. These programs are not just about biological health; they address the social and interpersonal dimensions of sexuality, such as the prevention of sexual harassment, assault, and bullying.
The psychological aspect of sexual health is also prioritized. The Counseling Center offers resources like "Communication for Sexual Happiness," which focuses on healthy relationship dynamics and consent. By integrating mental health support with physical healthcare, NCKU ensures that SRH is addressed with sensitivity and professional expertise. From the "NCKU Hospital Parking App" enhancing physical accessibility to the digital empowerment of health information, the university has created an environment where sexual and reproductive health is treated as a fundamental right, supported by transparent information and a culture of mutual respect.
