Tsai Shing-han (蔡行瀚), vice superintendent at Shuang Ho Hospital and a senior adviser to International SOS Taiwan, said a successful international medical transportation service involves many partners.
“Many things must fall into place for a mission like this to be successful: a good medical team, helpful airlines, safe aircraft, sufficient equipment and assistance from the government,” Tsai said. “While the business is developing, it is a good opportunity for doctors or nurses to participate in these services.”
Sabrina Yang (楊詩縈), marketing manager of Interpartner Assistance Taiwan, said that a growing number of local insurance companies were competing with each other over international medical transportation services.
“This is somehow a good thing for customers, as they will have more choices, while the premiums will become lower because of the competition,” she said.
