Taipei, Jan. 9 (CNA) A total
of 30 medical facilities are qualified to submit applications to the National
Immigration Agency (NIA) on behalf of their potential Chinese clients for entry
to receive medical treatment in Taiwan, the Department of Health (DOH) said
Monday.
The 30 hospitals include
National Taiwan University Hospital, Taipei Veteran's General Hospital, Cathay
General Hospital and Adventist Hospital in the north, China Medical College
Hospital and Changhua Christian Hospital in central Taiwan, and E-Da Hospital
and Kaohsiung Medical University Chung-Ho Memorial Hospital in the south.
Under the program, visitors
from China can stay in Taiwan for up to 15 days, including three days for
shopping and tourism in addition to medical treatment, said Chen Chen-hui, an
official of the Bureau of Medical Affairs under the DOH.
The government announced last
Dec. 30 that Chinese people would be permitted to come to Taiwan specifically
for health checkups or cosmetic surgery as part of its efforts to boost tourism
and the medical industry in the country.
Before the initiative came into
force, Chinese visitors seeking health checkups or plastic surgery in Taiwan
only had access to such services after they arrived for tourism or other purposes.
