Our heartfelt gratitude to Health Minister Hon. Eugene Hamilton for recognizing the success of “TaiwanModel” in combating COVID-19 and appealing for Taiwan’s inclusion in the WHO at the 73rd World Health Assembly on May 19.
In his remarks, Minister Hamilton said “Our success in addressing COVID-19 is due, in part, to our relationship with Taiwan, who has donated considerable sums of PPE, in addition to providing early expert review of our National Pandemic Response Plans. Taiwan’s own success story stands out for commendation: just 440 confirmed cases, with minimal community spread, in a population of 23 million people. There is much to be learnt from Taiwan’s handling of the pandemic. As has been done consistently over the years, our Country again makes an appeal for Taiwan to be granted full member status in the WHA. Taiwan has made significant contributions to the world: knowledge and technology transfer, mastery of universal health coverage, and disaster response and mitigation. “
Taiwan and St. Kitts and Nevis are true partners cooperating to achieve #HealthForAll.
