news: ♦ CNN (2025-11-28): salaries for health professionals feel stagnant. “That's why you hear doctors complaining about being underpaid, and why so many nurses are leaving the country or the industry altogether”♦ Statista 2024/2025: Statista tracks annual physician numbers up to 2024, recent data indicates a ratio of approximately 21.7 ~ 23 physicians per 10,000 population, below the OECD median. ♦ Lancet, May 23, 2025: Emergency departments of Taiwan's medical centres have nurse-to-patient ratios of one to 15, three times higher than WHO recommendations. The number of nurses in Taiwan is 62 per 10 000 people, trailing behind that of the UK (87 per 10 000), the USA (120 per 10 000), and Japan (121 per 10 000)Strict health-care cost controls have led to stagnant wages for health-care workers, with real wages declining by 18% since 2000. Consequently, 78% of nurses are compelled to work overtime. The deterioration of the health-care system is attributable to structural policy myopia, rigid global budget payments, systemic inequalities, and fragmented primary care and referral systems. During the omicron surge in 2022, the mortality rate for hospitalised COVID-19 patients in Taiwan was 58·2%, while the rate in Japan was 12·5%. This significant disparity can be attributed primarily to insufficient critical care capacity and delays in triage processes.♦ US Google AI overview, Dec. 2025: With 2025 marking Taiwan's entry into a "super-aged society," demand for specialized medical services is rising, further stressing the current workforce. Data from Salary Expert shows entry-level doctors in 2025 earning an average of NT$2,690,627 per year, while seniors earn around NT$5,154,335. ♦ Associated Press (2025-12-12): Taiwan release of the Asia-Pacific's first “Early Chronic Kidney Disease Annual Report” apnews.com/press-release/media-outreach/a-first-in-the-asia-pacific-taiwan-leads-the-launch-of-the-early-kidney-disease-annual-report-opening-a-new-era-in-advancing-kidney-care-eca287f0c68c6bc8ff14770fd90ca8b3 ♦ Liberty Times (2025-11-23): Taiwanese medical school graduates typically choose specialties such as dermatology, ENT, cosmetic surgery, plastic surgery, and specialties with high out-of-pocket income.

ranking lists the best hospitals in 30 countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States. These countries were selected based on multiple comparability factors, such as standard of living, life expectancy, population size, number of hospitals and data availability. Scores were calculated for each hospital in each of the four categories and weighted: Peer recommendations (35 percent national, 5 percent international), patient experience (17.5 percent), hospital quality metrics (37.5 percent), PROMs implementation (5 percent). Every hospital in each country is rated with a score. Scores are comparable only between hospitals in the same country because different sources for patient experience and medical key performance indicators were examined in each country. Since it is not possible to harmonize this data, cross-country comparisons of the scores are not possible (a score of 90 in country A doesn't necessarily mean that this hospital is better than a hospital with a score of 87 in country B).
