Healthcare in Taiwan
Taiwan has quality and affordable healthcare for all citizens. With a government-funded healthcare card NHI, residence and expats can access to public medical facilities. However, due to the language barrier and long lineups, expat patients will want to visit private clinics that are designed for foreigners. They usually have English speaking medical staff. Expats will have to pay out of pocket. Therefore, it is important to obtain international health insurance before relocating to Taiwan.
