TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Today in Taipei, a joint health conference hosted by Taiwan, the United States, and Japan took place, with leaders calling for Taiwan’s increased participation in World Health Organization (WHO) activities.
In attendance at the workshop aimed at combating Tuberculosis, was former U.S. Health Secretary under the Trump administration, Tom Price, who advocated for Taiwan’s inclusion as a “country” in the upcoming World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva, Switzerland.
“The world cannot succeed in improving the health of all unless all are able to participate in their strategic development for solutions and their implementation,” said Price, as reported by CNA.
Price spoke at the “International Workshop on the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis” on Tuesday, which is part of the Taiwan-U.S. Global Cooperation Training Framework (GCTF) established to promote ties between the two nations.
