This year the World Health Assembly takes place in Switzerland, but Taiwan cannot attend this world conference because of the controversial issue between Taiwan and China.
Since 2009, Taiwan has begun to gain admission to an observer in WHA. The Taiwanese government then seized every opportunity to discuss health issues with many countries. Also Taiwan shared the experiences of disease prevention and the health insurance system.
But, in May 2017, Taiwan did not receive the invitation letter, and it means China was fed up with the cold war with Taiwan. Human health problems are borderless. Then, more than 10 diplomatic allies presented proposals to help Taiwan, then the US, Germany, Japan and Australia and supported this argument.
