Taiwan's health care system is in a mess

By Chang King-jen 張金堅

The chaos we are seeing in healthcare in Taiwan comes as no surprise. National Taiwan University Hospital's surgery department is willing to list "teaching" as a focus for the entire department. It is also willing to provide various kinds of on-the-job training to help improve the overall quality of medical treatment and fulfill its social responsibility.

Chang King-jen is chairman of the department of surgery, at National Taiwan University Hospital.
