Media outlets representing nine of Taiwan’s diplomatic allies have sent staff to Taipei Veterans General Hospital for a look at Taiwanese medicine and the country’s medical diplomacy. The June 1 visit was arranged by the foreign ministry.

The visit included a tour of the hospital’s dialysis center. The hospital says Taiwan excels in offering quality treatment for chronic kidney disease.
