nurses entering Taiwan to work will not be permitted to provide medical services unless they obtain the required local licenses.

In an interview with CNA, Tsai Meng-liang (蔡孟良), deputy director-general of the ministry’s Workforce Development Agency, said that if trained nurses from abroad are brought in by a human resources agency, the nurses will have to be licensed in Taiwan in order to work as healthcare professionals.

Tsai was responding to questions about a news report that 100 trained Indonesian nurses were being recruited to work in Taiwan from early next year to provide homecare to patients.    [FULL  STORY]
