Several countries in the Asia-Pacific region have expressed an interest in Taiwan’s achievements in military medicine — a branch of medicine that attends to the needs of military personnel — a senior military official said on Saturday.

Officials from several countries — including Taiwan’s diplomatic and non-diplomatic allies — last year and this year visited the Tri-Service General Hospital and other military medical centers in the nation, the source said on condition of anonymity.

They expressed an interest in the construction, planning, structure, organization and operations of Taiwan’s national-level military medical centers, as well as the allocation of advanced medical resources, the source said.

The officials said they would continue to push for exchanges and cooperation through visits and discussions, the source added.    [FULL  STORY]
