| <p>Hi Everyone.</p><p>Based on this past weekend's meeting between 連戰 (and the 100+ Taiwan business leaders) and Premier Hu -- some of the 15 "gifts" from China to Taiwan will involve healthcare industry.  If I remember these correctly, these are:</p><ol><li>Taiwan's doctors (and I guess, medically-related staffs, which may or may not include healthcare IT folks) may practice medicine in China,</li><li>Taiwan's medical professionals from Taiwan can form association in China,</li><li>(can't remember ... but there is like 1 or 2 more)</li></ol><p>A). Do you folks think that will make <strong>impact</strong> on <strong>China's healthcare industry</strong>?  In good and/or bad ways?  e.g. driving up price, posing challenge to existing hospitals, bringing in different ways of running a hospital?  Producing better results or not possible to do so?</p><p>B).  Do you think those physicians will be allowed to <strong>treat only 台商</strong>?  or China's normal patients also?</p><p>C).  There are already Taiwan physicians trying to pass certification tests in China.  Have any of those people <strong>started medical practices</strong> in China already?  How are these going now - success?  Failure?</p><p>D).  If China's top officials decide to open the door (however wide or narrow the opening is) to Taiwan, do you think the government will similarly open medical industry to <strong>other nations</strong> as well -- Korea, Japan, Australia, USA, England, Germany, Canada, etc?</p><p>Thanks for sharing your views, 多謝,</p><p>  -- Lawrence Lin in USA, 林欣</p><p>(email, Skype / MSN / Yahoo IM info available on <a href="http://www.larrylin.org" target="_blank">www.larrylin.org</a> )</p> |
