About Espoir Nova 關於櫂星國際醫療

"Espoir" is the French word for "hope," derived from the Latin word spes, which, in medieval Latin literature, was one of the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and love (fides, spes, caritas). In the Bible, as well as in the writings of theologians such as Saint Augustine and Thomas Aquinas, spes is regarded as a guiding light for the soul. Espoir often represents prayer to God, endurance in the face of fate, and a belief in the power of hope.

"Nova" comes from the Latin word novus, meaning "new." In astronomy, a nova is a star that suddenly becomes visible in the night sky, symbolizing new beginnings, hope, transformation, radiance, and rebirth.

Therefore, Espoir Nova aspires to become a "star of hope" for patients in need of medical care. Through cross-disciplinary medical services, it aims to bring Taiwan's outstanding medical expertise to the world, allowing more patients to receive timely treatment. It seeks to be a light in the darkness, offering a cure for illness and a new beginning for patients and their lives. This is also our ultimate goal: international medical care that transcends national boundaries.
