為進一步強化台灣在 數位健康議題的領導地位，並為國內產業爭取商機，我國政府提出大型倡議「未來健康照護子基金」，結合台灣智慧醫療優勢，為全民健康未來做出實質貢獻💪
這項倡議是APEC第一個聚焦 #健康照護 的子基金，獲得全體會員一致支持！未來將補助會員舉辦相關會議及活動，透過公私協力推動落實「以病患為中心」的健康照護體系，並善用科技，解決人口結構變遷而日益增加的醫療問題。
外交部國際組織司孫儉元司長與APEC秘書處執行長佩德羅薩已於APEC「第二次資深官員會議」期間正式簽署捐助150萬美元備忘錄，美國、加拿大等代表團皆出席見證。
佩德羅薩執行長也指出，這項子基金與APEC「2040太子城願景」及「奧特亞羅瓦行動計畫」所強調的「提升人民健康福祉」目標高度契合，期盼會員們能藉此進行更多交流與能力建構，攜手面對人口高齡化所帶來的各項挑戰。
To strengthen Taiwan's leading role in APEC's discussions of digital healthcare and to provide business opportunities to Taiwanese industries, Taiwan proposed an APEC Healthcare Sub-Fund, harnessing Taiwan's smart healthcare strengths to make a global contribution to the future of healthcare💪
The initiative is the first sub-fund focused on healthcare and was supported by all members. It will help fund related events and meetings by member economies, harnessing public-private cooperation to implement patient-centered healthcare systems, and use technology to address the challenges posed by aging populations and chronic diseases.
Director General Johnathan Sun of MOFA's Department of International Organizations signed a memorandum of understanding on a donation of US$1.5 million to the fund with Eduardo Pedrosa, Executive Director of the APEC Secretariat, during the Second APEC Senior Officials' Meeting, witnessed by representatives from the US and Canada.
Pedrosa stated that the fund will strengthen APEC members' ability to address healthcare challenges, in line with the goals of the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040 and the Aotearoa Plan of Action. He expressed hope that member economies will take the opportunity to engage in policy dialogues and capacity building initiatives on healthcare to strengthen their ability to address the challenges of navigating profound demographic shifts that will reshape the region’s economy and workforce, and build healthcare systems that help keep older people active and engaged in society.
