Taiwan ranks No. 218 in World's Best Hospitals by Newsweek |
National Insurance is in "a state of diseases" |
♦ Council on Foreign Relations, 2024-2-27: Taiwan's healthcare system, despite its affordability and accessibility, is financially unsustainable, further exacerbated by a rapidly aging population. The three parties will need to agree on how to secure the necessary financial and labor resources.
◆
♣ The China Times, CTV news, 2024-9-21: Many Taiwanese people petitioned for not having hospital beds; Taipei city councilor found many hospitals have beds, but lack of nursing staffs to take care of more patients. msn.com/zh-tw/health/other/醫院有床卻沒有護理師-北市聯醫人力短缺病患苦等無解/ar-AA1qVeyq ♣ United Daily (聯合報), 2024-8-23: Professor of Taipei Medical University: In 健康台灣推動委員會 meeting held by Taiwan Presidential Office, an expert (中經院院長) urged to take the property of the elderly to meet the needs of national insurance ;Those kind of thinking of taking advantage of elderly persons (啃老) has become the mainstream thinking among Taiwanese officials and national think tank. However, the spirit of health insurance is that the healthy people support the sick, and young people support elderly people. The government should think about how to increase the income of young people, instead of finding some way to make the elderly to cough up their limited money. udn.com/news/story/7339/8179879?from=udn-catehotnews_ch2 |
♣ United Daily (聯合報), 2024-8-23: Professor of National Chung-Cheng University: Professional arrogance may ignore patients’ symptoms and lead to misdiagnosis / one of my friends described chest pain symptoms to the MD many times, but the Doctor simply attributed it to anxiety and did not conduct further examination; until she passed out one day and found Severe aortic stenosis causes arrhythmia (重度主動脈狹窄引發心律不整)。another one suffering from headaches and blurred vision for a long time have attended MD many times. Doctors mostly insisted that it was stress and did not recommend further examination; until one day she passed out and was diagnosed with brain tumor. Be brave enough to Actively ask questions and defend your right. |
♣ United Daily (聯合報), 2024-8-23Excessive health insurance packages squeezed frontline medical care. The new government intensified the issue .They refuse to invest more in the medical environment which caused the quality of medical care in Taiwan to decline. Those money officials claim saved actually are earned through the health of you and your loved ones |
♦ China Times, 2024-7-19: The government does not dare to raise premiums to avoid losing the elections. Since benefits for drug-prices are cut almost every year, hospitals refuse to import higher-priced brand drugs, instead, generic drugs that are less effective. Due to global budget payment system, the more patients Doctors see, the more financial losses the hospital will suffer. Now all hospitals are faced with the problem of lacking of MDs in Internal medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Emergency departments. Medical students with good grades usually go to fields like Dermatology, medical Cosmetology, and Ophthalmology, which are high-paying and easy-going .
◆
♦ United Daily (2024-6-5): Don't let patients become lambs to be slaughtered !!
At present, cell therapy and regenerative medicine are very Chaotic, and there is a disparity in medical information between doctors and patients. The government (Ministry of Health and Welfare) cannot shift the blame for failing to fulfill its responsibility for patient care. Regenerative medicine may become the most expensive and ineffective medical treatment in the history of Taiwan medicine udn.com/news/story/11674/8010191?from=udn_ch2cate6638sub11674_pulldownmenu_v2
◆
♦ FTV News (民視新聞), 2024-8-25: According to the Ministry of Labor (2022), the average monthly salary of Taiwan's physicians is NT 156,178 (about USD 5200); the average annual salary of physicians is NT 2,320,000 youtube.com/watch?v=_TFLw15CS9c TTV News (台視新聞), 2024-5-16: the monthly salary of many young attending physicians is about NT 100,000 youtube.com/watch?v=aokjvVAZ0kc
◆
♦ China Times, 2024-6-26: Many medical institutions in Taiwan have a long-standing problem of lacking nursing staffs. From the second half of last year, major hospitals had to close some beds to cope with the situation; A widely-known nursing home in northern Taiwan closed 50 beds, besides, there are issues of medical saline shortage. As CovID returns in Taiwan, our government reacts slowly and even is not willing to admit the issue - lacking of medical staffs and resources. chinatimes.com/opinion/20240626004474-262101?chdtv
◆
♦ The Liberty Times (自由時報), 2024-7-13: The Department of Pediatrics at National Taiwan University wanted to recruit 13 resident physicians this year, but only six were recruited. The attending physician therefore has to be on duty at the front line in person. This way going for a long time, the attending physician is also calling for resignation. Pediatrics physicians usually spend more time and efforts on treating children, but have same health insurance benefits as other physicians.◆talk.ltn.com.tw/article/paper/1656242
