Starting August 1, 2024, Taiwan's National Health Insurance will stop providing coverage for 14 listed medicines while still covering over 800 others. The medical and pharmaceutical industry in Taiwan have differing opinions on this decision. The Pharmacists Association believes that listed medicines should be removed from coverage due to the strain on healthcare resources, while the Physicians Association emphasizes the need for careful evaluation before removing these medicines to prevent burdening patients financially. The debate revolves around the financial implications and accessibility of commonly used listed medicines for the public.
