In 2018 Taiwan celebrates the 23rd anniversary of its national health insurance (NHI) system. The system was rolled out nationwide in 1995 and reforms introduced in 2013 ushered in the 2nd generation of the NHI system. Over the past few years, Taiwan’s NHI system has achieved growing global recognition for its coverage rate (99% of the population), cost-effectiveness and efficiency. However, every good system has to evolve with the times and this is especially urgent now given demographic and social-economic changes, particularly Taiwan’s rapidly aging population.

At this event, our guest speaker will present an overview of the most recent achievements and reforms accomplished by the NHIA.  Among other subjects, she will offer insights on the chances of further co-payment schemes and strategies to enhance the public’s accessibility to new medicines and technologies.


This event should be of special interest to members in the Healthcare Enhancement, Medical Device, and Pharmaceutical committees.
