After World War II, the Health Bureau of the KMT’s Taiwan Provincial Government took over Lo-Sheng Sanatorium. In February 1949, the provincial government instituted the Taiwan Provincial ​Leprosy Prevention Law​ which basically followed the pre-war policy and its emphasis on segregation.

 

   In 1962, the provincial government followed international trends discontinuing the practice of segregation. That year, the Taiwan ​Leprosy Prevention Law​ was revised allowing non-infectious patients to leave the sanatorium.  It also prescribed equal treatment at school or at work, though people with leprosy were still prevented from working in the food industry and areas related to public sanitation.

 

  From the 1960s until recently, Lo-Sheng became a place for people with ​leprosy in need of long-term treatment. When new cases were discovered, infectious patients were still sent to ​Lo-Sheng for care. Although most of the inhabitants in Lo-Sheng can leave, many people still live in Lo-Sheng because of the stigma of leprosy. Even people who have been cured continue to reside there.
