planning to introduce Taiwan’s global health cooperation in Geneva next week on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly (WHA).
The WHA is scheduled to hold its annual meeting from Monday. Taiwan has not been invited to this year’s assembly due to pressure from China.
ICDF deputy secretary-general Lee Pai-po said Friday that there will be two events focusing on Taiwan’s medical care and public health cooperation.
Lee said one will focus on ICDF’s efforts to set up a chronic renal failure prevention program in Belize and Saint Christopher and Nevis. Two Taiwanese hospitals are responsible for training medical workers there.
Another event is aimed at sharing ICDF’s efforts to boost medical records management efficiency in Paraguay. System engineers and hospital staff from Paraguay will receive training in Taiwan to learn how to design and maintain its digital medical system.
