The donation includes 2 million to the US, 7 million to Europe and 1 million to diplomatic allies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. Appreciative remarks from some of those nations have been posted on social media, including from the European Commission and the US Security Council. Through donations, the public would learn to cherish the nation’s medical resources, while the world can see the caring side of Taiwan, she said. Given the nation’s medical strength, the government should develop a corresponding strategy to consolidate the nation’s footing in the global community, international law specialist Sung Cheng-en (宋承恩) said. Taiwan is able to export its medical services, and any medical exports should be allowed after domestic needs are met, he said.
