AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Senior Health Coverage: Taiwan’s health minister warns proposed National Health Insurance changes could strip some low-income seniors of help with copayments and treatments such as dentures, cataract lenses and heart stents. The ministry says 83% of people aged 65 and older would qualify for premium subsidies, raising concerns that support may be spread too broadly instead of focused on those most in need. Firewalking Injuries: Twenty people were treated at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital after burning their feet at a temple firewalking ceremony in New Taipei. Taiwan Health Research: Studies using Taiwanese data are examining links between sleep duration and abdominal obesity, and whether diabetic patients need closer retinopathy monitoring after cataract surgery. Health Partnerships: Taiwan-backed digital tools and equipment are helping Saint Lucia screen for and manage diabetes, hypertension and obesity.
