An article by Dr. Chung-Liang Shih, Taiwan’s Minister of Health and Welfare, titled “Digital-Driven Healthcare Transformation: A New Chapter of Holistic Care in Taiwan,” has been published on Beacon Media News’ website for the May 21–27, 2026 edition.
Here are the key takeaways:
- Digital transformation in healthcare is no longer optional but essential; therefore, Taiwan has introduced the “Healthy Taiwan” vision, placing “driving digital healthcare” at its core.
- Taiwan has introduced a national digital health platform known as the “3-3-3 Framework,” integrating electronic medical records across more than 400 hospitals to ensure cross-institutional interoperability, thanks to its robust ICT industry and renowned National Health Insurance (NHI) system, which has accumulated high-quality healthcare data over time.
- Taiwan has established a comprehensive governance framework to advance the development of clinical AI. To date, more than 50 AI medical products have received regulatory approval, supporting early cancer detection, prediction of cardiac events, and clinical decision-making support.
- Diseases know no borders, and effective global health governance depends on comprehensive collaboration; Taiwan’s inclusion in the World Health Organization would help realize the vision of health for all and reinforce the resilience of the global health system and its future.
