The China Times, CTV news, 2024-9-21:
Many Taiwanese people petitioned for not having hospital beds; Taipei city
councilor found many hospitals have beds, but lack of nursing staffs to take
care of more patients. msn.com/zh-tw/health/other/醫院有床卻沒有護理師-北市聯醫人力短缺病患苦等無解/ar-AA1qVeyq

China Times, 2024-6-26:
Many medical
institutions in Taiwan have a long-standing problem of lacking nursing staffs.
From the second half of last year, major hospitals had to close some beds to
cope with the situation; A widely-known nursing home in northern Taiwan
closed 50 beds, besides, there are issues of medical saline shortage.
As CovID returns in Taiwan, our government reacts
slowly and even is not willing to admit the issue - lacking of medical
staffs and resources.

♦ China Times, 2024-7-19: The government does not dare to raise premiums to avoid losing the elections. Since benefits for drug-prices are cut almost every year, hospitals refuse to import higher-priced brand drugs, instead, generic drugs that are less effective. Due to global budget payment system, the more patients Doctors see, the more financial losses the hospital will suffer. Now all hospitals are faced with the problem of lacking of MDs in Internal medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatrics, and Emergency departments. Medical students with good grades usually go to fields like Dermatology, medical Cosmetology, and Ophthalmology, which are high-paying and easy-going .

♦ United Daily (聯合報), 2024-8-23: Professor of National Chung-Cheng University: Professional arrogance may ignore patients' symptoms and lead to misdiagnosis / one of my friends described chest pain symptoms to the MD many times, but the Doctor simply attributed it to anxiety and did not conduct further examination; until she passed out one day and found Severe aortic stenosis causes arrhythmia (重度主動脈狹窄引發心律不整)。another one suffering from headaches and blurred vision for a long time have attended MD many times. Doctors mostly insisted that it was stress and did not recommend further examination; until one day she passed out and was diagnosed with brain tumor. Be brave enough to Actively ask questions and defend your right. |

♦ United Daily (聯合報), 2024-7-11: Due to the shortage of nursing manpower and the escalation of the COVID-19 epidemic, emergency rooms in major hospitals continued to be overcrowded this summer. Some patient had to sit in wheelchairs and receive rectified electric shocks to save his life. udn.com/news/story/7266/8087156

♦ The Liberty Times (自由時報), 2024-7-13: The Department of Pediatrics at National Taiwan University wanted to recruit 13 resident physicians this year, but only six were recruited. The attending physician therefore has to be on duty at the front line in person. This way going for a long time, the attending physician is also calling for resignation. Pediatrics physicians usually spend more time and efforts on treating children, but have same health insurance benefits as other physicians.◆talk.ltn.com.tw/article/paper/1656242

♦ Council on Foreign Relations, 2024-2-27: Taiwan's healthcare system, despite its affordability and accessibility, is financially unsustainable, further exacerbated by a rapidly aging population. The three parties will need to agree on how to secure the necessary financial and labor resources.
♦ United Daily (2024-6-5): Don't let patients become lambs to be slaughtered !!
At present, cell therapy and regenerative medicine are very Chaotic, and there is a disparity in medical information between doctors and patients. The government (Ministry of Health and Welfare) cannot shift the blame for failing to fulfill its responsibility for patient care. Regenerative medicine may become the most expensive and ineffective medical treatment in the history of Taiwan medicine udn.com/news/story/11674/8010191?from=udn_ch2cate6638sub11674_pulldownmenu_v2
