Starting August 2024, the publicly funded cancer screening program in Taiwan will expand to include stomach cancer, specifically testing for H. pylori. This initiative aims to detect and prevent the high number of stomach cancer cases caused by H. pylori infection. With 10 cities participating in the trial program next month, individuals aged 45-74 will receive free 'H. pylori fecal antigen testing.' This expansion is part of a larger effort by the government to enhance cancer prevention and healthcare policies.
