我國衛福部長林奏延甫完成WHA演說，演說中全程稱呼我國「中華台北」，且未見有關抗議北京打壓之詞語。對此，民進黨立委蔡適應感到「比較遺憾」，時代力量立委黃國昌與林昶佐皆認為林奏延自我矮化，「實在令人失望」。
蔡適應受訪時表示，這是比較遺憾的地方，但他認為離明年的大會還有一年的時間可以努力，希望接下來新政府能夠多做溝通，爭取國際支持，在下次的大會，能以「台灣」為名。
黃國昌林昶佐皆認為，在林奏延部長之前，已經有許多友邦相繼挺我們，且常用用「TAIWAN」來取代被矮化的「CHINESE TAIPEI」，反而是林部長自己的講稿完全自稱「CHINESE TAIPEI」，這實在令人失望。
林昶佐提供林奏延WHA演說英文講稿全文
Mr president, Director general, fellow Health ministers ladies and gentlemen, first of all I will congratulate Mr president on his election. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Dr. Margaret Chan and the secretariat, for the efforts to facilitating Chinese Taipei’s continued participation in these assembly.
As pleased 2030 development agenda by all member states, no one will be left behind. On the way towards sustainable development cause, we would like to work closely in collaborative goal global partners to transform our world.
We launched universal health insurance in 1995. It covers 99.9% of taiwanese population, and the public satisfaction rate is over 80%, the life expectancy is 80 years, infant mortality is 3.6 per 1000 life verse. Most comparable to the average of OECD countries.
Nevertheless, we faced challenges of rapid population aging, overloading health care workers, and increasing number of medical disputes. To take up these challenges, we passed the Long Term Care Service Law last year, and allocated extra resources to develop innovative and integrated service model.
In addition, we passed the Birth Injury Relieve Act, as the first step towards an lawful compensation system, for medical injury claims. This is not only provides comprehensive protection for pregnant women, but also aims to reduce medical litigation.
In response to the overload healthcare workers, we’re implementing restriction of working hours for healthcare workers, including physicians and the training.
Furthermore, we plan to cover the employed physicians under the protection of Labor Standard Act. We now have successfully transformed from an international aid recipient to an aid provider.
To help stop the global spread of infectious diseases, we have offered the past 12 months organized workers training workshops, from participants from 14 of neighboring countries, to improve regional capability to respond to ebola, mers, dengue as well as zika virus. In fact, we detected the second imported cases of zika just a few days ago. We hope to work even more closely with WHO and other international institutes to strengthen the global health security.
Moreover we are one of the world leaders in reconstructive microsurgery, craniofacial surgery and organ transplantation.
In response to the WHA and the lancet commissions on global surgery, we would like to provide training opportunity to 50 surgical trainer around the world within the next 5 years. I am a Pediatrician who has practiced over 40 years. I strive to applaud the medical associations the credition of Geneva, and I quote ”I will not permit consideration or age or origin, nationality, and political affiliations to intervene between my duty and my patient”
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the same speech, I call on WHO and its member states, to support the 23 million citizens of chinese taipei by facilitate us participate , robustly in WHA related meetings and activities. Then no one will be left behind. Thank you very much.
