Min-Sheng joins high ranking health care delegation to Dubai


A delegation headed by Health and Welfare Minister Chiu Wen-Ta, and composed of heads of local health governments, officials, and representatives of leading hospitals recently visited the United Arab Emirates. Min-Sheng General Hospital, one of the leaders in Medical Tourism in Taiwan, was represented by the Director of its International Healthcare Center, Dr. Chen Pao-Ren.


A consensus on further medical exchanges was achieved with the Dubai Health Authority and a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on medical exchanges and cooperation will be signed when the Dubai delegation makes a return visit to Taiwan. The Dubai Health Authority showed an interest in Taiwan’s medical services, including Chinese medicine, mental health and perinatal care, and the measures taken to prevent obesity-caused diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.
 

The Taiwanese delegation also visited the Dubai Healthcare City (DHCC). Dubai is vying to become an international medical tourism hub, and once completed, the DHCC will include four hospitals, 120 large specialized clinics, pharmaceutical and other related industries, as well as world-class hotels. The DHCC project which is already well underway, with many facilities already completed and operational, is a counterpart to Taiwan’s International Health Industrial Park that will be located in the Taoyuan free economic pilot zone, when it finally gets started.
