A conference was held under the Global Cooperation and Training Framework May 22 in Berlin to promote resilience in international health systems, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Themed “New Frontiers in Global Health Cooperation: Health System Resilience,” the one-day event was organized by the Taipei Representative Office in Germany and U.S. Embassy in Germany.
It was the first GCTF event held in the EU member state and involved around 100 senior officials, health experts and industry representatives from the three countries and across Europe to discuss ways to advance cross-border cooperation amidst emerging crises, the ministry said.
Taiwan Rep. Klement Ruey-sheng Gu said in opening remarks that international cooperation is key to responding to cross-border public health threats, adding that Taiwan demonstrated digital governance and swift response capabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The country’s public health system has been recognized around the world, as evidenced by its first-place listing for eight years in a row in the Health Care Index by Country survey compiled by Numbeo, Gu noted. He added that Taiwan can provide valuable support and experience in public health due to its strength in semiconductors and artificial intelligence.
Minister of Health and Welfare Shih Chung-liang shared Taiwan’s high-tech disease prevention experience in his keynote speech. He said Taiwan continues to work with allies to promote health information systems development for global community use.
U.S. Embassy to Germany Chargé d’Affaires a.i. Alan Meltzer said in closing remarks that GCTF is a cooperative platform among like-minded and trusted partners to address global challenges. He commended Taiwan for its disease-prevention achievements, and emphasized that expanded cooperation will help build a more secure and resilient future for all. (SFC-E)
