Medical personnel from St. Kitts and Nevis, Honduras and Fiji are participating in a healthcare training program in Taiwan in an effort to improve medical services in those countries, a government-funded agency responsible for the program said Friday.

Under the Healthcare Personnel Training Program that kicked off Thursday, the five participants will receive training at different hospitals to learn more about the development of Taiwan’s healthcare system, said the Taipei-based International Cooperation and Development Fund (TaiwanICDF).

The two participants from St. Kitts and Nevis will spend their time at the departments of emergency treatment and intensive care units at Taipei Veterans General Hospital, while two other participants from Honduras will have their training at Shuang Ho Hospital in New Taipei, which will focus on family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology and healthcare management, the agency said.

The participant from Fiji will receive training at the department of psychiatry at Mackay Memorial Hospital in Taipei, it added.     [FULL  STORY]
