Today, as Vice President of CHC Healthcare in Taiwan, Peter’s career path has taken a different turn, but his determination to help people with cancer hasn’t. It’s a commitment he shares with his father, Pei-Lin Lee, who founded the company in 1977.
CHC sells, maintains and leases equipment for radiation oncology, neuroscience, medical imaging, surgical procedures and ophthalmology. From becoming the first to lease the equipment needed for radiation oncology treatment therapy to a Taiwanese hospital, CHC now operates the Yee Zen General Hospital, multiple clinics and 35 cancer centres with operations in China, Indonesia and the UK. In 2017, the company joined with Taipei Medical University and Hospital to introduce proton therapy, the most advanced form of radiation therapy using high-energy proton beams to irradiate tumours.
“Actually, both my grandfathers died from cancer,” Peter reflects. “My father was working as a radiology technician in his 20s, taking care of his four younger siblings and travelling far after his shifts to visit his father in hospital. One day, he was so tired that he hit someone with his bike, so he understands very well the difficulties and the vulnerability of being a family member of a cancer patient.
“He decided to establish his own company and focus on introducing state-of-the-art equipment and pioneering cancer treatments to Taiwan and those in need. CHC has been focusing on the area of oncology ever since.”
