AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Medication Safety: Three Taiwanese medical associations warned clinics against using propofol for insomnia, stressing that drug-induced unconsciousness is not normal sleep and urging people in psychological distress to seek psychiatric care. Aging & Care: Reported elder-abuse cases in Taiwan rose 32% to 26,684 last year, outpacing the 15% growth in the older population from 2022. Sleep & Metabolic Health: A study of Taiwanese adults found a U-shaped association between sleep duration and abdominal obesity, pointing to higher risk at both shorter and longer sleep durations. Vaccination: More than four million people have received flu shots, while Taiwan’s CDC has cited a health-token initiative as helping lift vaccination uptake.
