邱理事長致詞全文如下：
Minister of Health and Welfare Dr. Shih-Chung Chen,
IFMSA Team of Officials,
Medical students from around the world,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good evening.
I am Dr. Tai Yuan Chiu, the president of Taiwan Medical Association. It is my great honor, on behalf of our 50,000 member physicians in Taiwan, to offer our genuine welcome and appreciation for your participation.
Medical students are the future doctors and play crucial roles in this fast transformation of healthcare system. FMS-Taiwan and IFMSA respectively serve as the voice of medical students and youth in Taiwan and around the world. Taiwan medical association has been collaborating closely with the organizing committee since last March, and I am inspired by the enthusiasm and amazing efforts by them.
The theme of this event is “Science, Technology, and Innovation for sustainable Health Care.” One important path towards this goal is to “achieve universal health coverage and access to quality health care”. Taiwan’s national health insurance, or NHI, provides coverage to more than 99% of the residents in Taiwan with high marks in both quantity and quality which is a great demonstration of universal health care. We also improved the electronic information system by introducing the PharmaCloud System, Physician order duplication check, and electronic referral. Being a medical student, you will undoubtedly face a new era of E health and it will be a great opportunity for young generations around the world to share their experiences during this event.
Taiwan is at the forefront of medicine, biotechnology, and public health. We have the best palliative care. The Quality of Death Index in Taiwan is ranked first in Asia and sixth in the world. Taiwan has an advanced network of primary care and family physicians that deliver people-centered, family-based, community-oriented healthcare. The Long-Term Care policy was praised by the Economist magazine as the second healthiest nation in the world. Besides acknowledging these medical achievements of Taiwan, I would also encourage you to spend some time visiting different places of this beautiful country. You can sense the warm hospitality, the famous Taiwanese cuisine, and the fascinating landscape.
We welcome your attendance at the assembly. I wish you all have a pleasant and memorable stay in Taipei.
Thank you.
