Last year, the NHIA’s Taipei division helped 537 disadvantaged families cover their medical expenses, allocating more than NT$10 million in donated funds, it said. Since the NHIA Charity Fund was established, it has used more than NT$85 million in donations to help more than 3,600 disadvantaged families, it said. The fund also supported 117 disadvantaged families that were affected by typhoons Fung-wong and Podul last year, providing more than NT$2.7 million in support, the agency said.
