The second-generation NHI system may have been
officially launched in 2013, but reforms of the system will
continue to be introduced. because health care resources
remain limited. Some of the reform directions, and related
initiatives already in place or to be taken in the near future, are

Disadvantaged
The NHI program remains committed to ensuring
unfettered access to care for economically disadvantaged
segments of the population that cannot afford the premiums.

to care. The second-generation reforms have introduced further
steps, such as the NHIA taking the initiative to find further
funding to support the poor and ease regulations on when to
invalidate IC health cards. Victims of domestic violence who
were enrolled in the program as a dependent now have the
option to change their registration and be listed as a dependent
of another relative, or, if no suitable relative is found, to register
as insured persons themselves.
