Additionally, with partial subsidies available through the National Health Insurance program, the cost advantage is significant.

Taiwan's average life expectancy reaches 81.3 years, with a physician density of 3.2 per 1,000 population and 4.5 hospital beds per 1,000 people, ranking among the top globally.

These include blood, urine, and basic physical examinations. Companies can utilize this resource to arrange regular health checks for their employees.

In 2025, Taiwan's population aged 65 and above will exceed 20%, leading to a surge in chronic disease management needs. Enterprises can focus on long-term care facilities, health promotion programs, and remote monitoring equipment. These sectors have significant development potential and can also be considered as employee welfare benefits.
