建構國際醫療體系之研究

Abstract

國際潮流需求的推升，台灣推廣國際醫療的想法理所當然，早被衛生署列為「旗艦計畫」，但是正反意見各方任意表述，甚囂塵上。台灣的醫療服務具有高品質的水準，同時也是展現國力之重要強項。目前已建立的核心優勢，若能妥善搭配台灣豐富獨特的觀光資源，必定可發展成為一個具國際競爭力的台灣國際醫療產業，將來甚至有可能成為國際醫療的大國。本論文嘗試討論醫療產品的學理特性，以及國際醫療行為的動機與客戶在意的問題，以提供政府與相關醫療機構，在制定政策與執行措施時的立論參考。其次，提醒台灣醫療的現有困境，冀望政府有關部門能夠有效解決，否則遑論國際醫療產業的未來發展。同時了解其它潛在競爭對手的發展進度，呈現台灣大學附設醫院在國際醫療領域中的發展經驗，期許台大醫院在其中的相對地位與貢獻。

With rapid globalization, the demand for international medicine is inevitable. In many countries, international medicine has played an important role in not only the economic growth but also the progress of domestic medicine---for example: the USA, Swiss, Austria, France, Germany, England, Singapore, Hong-Kong, Korea, Malaysia, Japan---etc. have already shown their capability and accomplishment in developing international medicine. Besides, Dubai, Thailand, Korea and mainland China are also endeavoring on this subject. It also revealed that their standard in medicine are all relatively farther-advanced. Breakthrough of the current restraint for the development international medicine in Taiwan is the utmost importance for future perspectives.
