Taiwan renewed a cooperative agreement on health and medicine with Israel Nov. 9, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said.
The MOHW said that Ya-ping Abby Lee, head of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Tel Aviv, and Israel Strulov, head of the Israel Economic and Cultural Office in Taipei, signed the agreement via videoconference as Deputy Health Minister Lin Ching-yi; Yen Chia-liang, director-general of the MOFA’s Department of West Asian and African Affairs; and Asher Salmon, deputy director general of the Israeli Ministry of Health, witnessed the ceremony.
Taiwan and Israel first signed a medical collaboration agreement in 2006. Over the years, the two sides have worked closely to share knowledge and experience through policy exchanges and talks. High-ranking officials from both countries’ health ministries held an online dialogue earlier this year to discuss issues including medical resilience, the MOHW stated.
Lin noted that the arrangement’s renewal marked a new milestone enabling the two nations to join forces in key areas like digital health, psychological resilience, and sanitation and safety to tackle global challenges. The deputy minister added that Taiwan’s expertise in national health insurance and digital health and Israel’s experiences in technological innovation will benefit the people of both countries.
