Newborn screening and early treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) — a rare genetic disease — is now possible, thanks to breakthrough study by Mackay Memorial Hospital. MPS I is caused by a defect in the gene that disrupts the production of an enzyme called alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which eventually leads to organ damage and death. The hospital’s pediatric genetics director, Lin Shuan-pei (林炫沛), said that babies with the disorder display no symptoms at all after birth, which is why early diagnosis is so important.

Taiwan’s Progress on Health Care

By UWE E. REINHARDT

Uwe E. Reinhardt is an economics professor at Princeton. He has some financial interests in the health care field.

Find this article HERE

Several years ago I wrote "Humbled in Taiwan," a commentary for The British Medical Journal.

The piece was prompted by a conversation between a health services researcher and the head of health information technology of Taiwan's Bureau of National Health Insurance, which administers Taiwan's single-payer national health insurance system. By that time, virtually all of Taiwan's claims were billed electronically.

Is Taiwan Asia's Next One-Stop Plastic-Surgery Shop?

Overseas Taiwanese who frequently return to the island might recommend savoring succulent street food or exploring Taipei's boisterous night markets. Or they may pass along the business card of a favorite plastic surgeon or dermatologist.
And why not? Taiwan has long been popular with its expatriate population as a medical-travel destination.

At Taipei's abundant health care facilities, the equipment is modern and sophisticated, and most
importantly, prices are considered a steal. Some of the biggest savings are in liver-transplant surgery, which runs to around $91,000, compared with some $300,000 in the U.S.

Price tags like that have built a small but devoted following for Taiwan's niche medical-tourism market, and it's about to get a lot more customers. Taiwan's neighbors across the strait have been making their way to the island for a nip or a tuck since travel restrictions for Chinese tourists were lifted in mid-2008. Now, in the latest of a series of agreements and concessions between China and Taiwan, Taipei announced last week that Chinese tourists will soon be allowed to travel individually to the island — a development that many medical-tourism proponents are hoping will be a boon to their industry.

Dr. Mackay
Dr. Mackay was born in Canada
and died in Tamsui (1844- 1901).

Dr. George Leslie Mackay was born in Zola Village, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada on March 21, 1844. On March 9, 1872, the Canadian Presbyterian Church commissioned him to go to Taiwan as a medical missionary.

In 1880, Dr. Mackay founded the Mackay Clinic in Tamshui, which was the first Western hospital in the northern part of Taiwan. It was here in the humble surroundings of Tamshui where Dr. Mackay treated many patients, in the mean while proclaiming the gospels of Christ.

They treated patients who suffered from diseases such as malaria, which was a serious disease at that time. Besides treating patients, Dr. Mackay often preached and brought Taiwanese Christians along with his medical and evangelistic tours in northern Taiwan. With the Bible in one hand and forceps in the other, he often defied mountains, rivers and jungles overgrowth to do medical evangelism.
