TAINAN (Taiwan News) — As the issue of super-aging inevitably looms for the Taiwanese population, a leading hospital in Tainan is building the country's first geriatric facility aimed to mitigate the impact of the crisis while addressing the main challenges faced by the country's single-payer National Health Insurance system.
Construction of the hospital is underway, and services will commence in 2022. A meeting between the National Cheng Kung University (NCKUH) team involved with the project and the country's information and communications technology (ICT) service providers was held on Sunday (Dec. 20) to help foster innovative digital health solutions through win-win partnerships between health and ICT professionals.
