As for health databases, Taiwan already has a good foundation, but it needs to establish a sound regulatory environment for the safe use of health data and health big data.

From a practical point of view, it is still necessary to establish an independent agency to carry out data standardization and unification work to accelerate data integration and application; at the same time, it must be patient-centered to ensure that doctors and patients share medical and data information. For example, hospital data can comply with the International Medical Information Exchange (FHIR) standard and be integrated with more than 30 domestic biobanks.

"These have a good foundation, but there are still many challenges in progress, and they must continue to be implemented and completed." Cai Zhengxian said that with such a common standard, on the iran telegram premise of protecting personal information, everyone can use the health database more flexibly. Taiwan will play a very important role if it can implement precision health.

The Central Epidemic Command Center stated today (25th) that due to the reduced demand for real-name rapid home antigen screening reagents from the public and the current sufficient supply of rapid home antigen screening reagents in the free market, the real-name system for rapid home antigen screening reagents has completed its phased tasks. Therefore, the real-name policy for home rapid antigen screening reagents will be implemented until April 30, 2023, and will be withdrawn from May 1. The public is reminded that if they need to purchase real-name home antigen rapid screening reagents, they can go to a health insurance authorized pharmacy with their health insurance card as soon as possible before April 30 this year.
