During the meeting, both sides engaged in extensive discussions on future cooperation in the fields of medical collaboration, healthcare services, and jointly organized health-related activities, reaching many positive understandings and areas of consensus. DG Hsu emphasized the importance of “Health for All,” stressing that healthcare is a fundamental right shared by all humanity and should not be subject to political interference or restricted by national boundaries. He further noted that Taiwan possesses a comprehensive healthcare system, valuable epidemic prevention experience, and advanced medical technologies, and has for many years continued to seek meaningful participation in the World Health Assembly (WHA). In this connection, TECC will organize a badminton event on the morning of May 17 to call upon various sectors in India to support Taiwan’s meaningful participation in the WHA. DG Hsu’s remarks resonated strongly with the Apollo executives, who proactively expressed their willingness to dispatch a medical team to participate in the May 17 event as a concrete gesture of support. In addition, DG Hsu also secured Apollo Hospital management’s agreement to provide special health check-up and medical consultation packages for the Taiwanese community in South India in the near future, with the aim of enabling Taiwanese nationals residing in South India to enjoy more convenient and reliable healthcare services. Through this exchange, both sides expressed their expectation to further deepen future cooperation and establish closer medical collaboration, while jointly providing greater support and assistance for the health and well-being of the Taiwanese community.
