Taiwanese medical technicians hold skills seminar in Mongolia
Taipei, Aug. 15 (CNA) The Taiwan International Healthcare Training Center hosted a medical seminar in Mongolia recently to share medical techniques with local doctors and review the progress of an ongoing medical exchange program with the central Asian country.
At the seminar held on Aug. 11, doctors from Taipei Hospital, which established the center, presented medical techniques such as cardiac therapies and surgical techniques in obstetrics and gynecology, and also reviewed the results of the Mongolian training program.
Taipei Hospital superintendent Dr. Lin Shui-lung said health care should extend beyond borders, and because Taiwan has advanced medical techniques, the country is obligated to share its medical experience with countries around the world.
The seminar also hosted a reunion of the Mongolian health care professionals who had participated in the training program and had done stints at Taipei Hospital. Many said they were grateful for Taiwan's assistance.
The center, which was established by Taipei Hospital of the Department of Health on Aug. 29, 2002, provides medical training and exchange programs for physicians from other countries and has been working with a hospital in Ulan Bator since 2005.
It also sends medical teams and supplies to help with disaster-relief operations and has become a key cog in Taiwan's medical diplomacy.
