On May 20, 2013, as the head of Taiwan’s delegation to
the 66th World Health Assembly, Health Minister Chiu Wen-
ta delivered a speech addressing the meeting’s main theme:
“
how to ensure the place of health in the next generation of
Global Development Goals.” The minister shared with the
assembly Taiwan’s progress and achievements in promoting
its NHI program and public health policies. He also stressed
that in the face of a changing global focus in public health,
financial crises, and other challenges, Taiwan has adopted
several reforms to safeguard the basic right of health care and
the long-term sustainability of the health care system. Among
them: making the government more responsible for the NHI-
system’s finances, broadening the premium base, ensuring
the fair distribution of the premium burden, introducing
pay-for-performance payment plans, and covering inmates
of correctional institutions under the NHI-program, and
implementing long-termcare insurance.
Less than two months later, on July 1, 2013, the
NHIA held the “2013 Taiwan-Japan-Korea National Health
Insurance Conference.” It invited health insurance officials
from Japan and South Korea, which have health care systems
similar to Taiwan’s, to explore three main issues: “the current
status of health insurance systems and their future prospects,”
“
health care delivery in remote areas,” and “the impact of
aging societies on medical expenditures.” More than 200
people, including scholars and representatives of health
insurance agencies, civic groups, medical institutions and
pharmaceutical associations, were in attendance and discussed
their NHI practices. The conference was held in the hope that
the participating countries could learn from each other and
strengthen the health care systems in their countries.
