Opening Address
President Ing-Wen Tsai
R.O.C (Taiwan)
Dr. Shih-Chung Chen
Minister of health and welfare, R.O.C. (Taiwan)
Dr. Shih-Chung Chen, Minister of Health and Welfare, welcomed participants from near and afar to join the 2020 Global Heal Forum in Taiwan, and then introduced President Ing-Wen Tsai to address this year's forum.
President Tsai shared Taiwan's success in preventing the spread of COVID-19. She mentioned that at the outset of the outbreak, Taiwan implemented a set of crucial measures, including onboard and home quarantine, early diagnosis and detection, application pf social distancing, enforcement of facial mask wearing and the utilization of big data analysis and digital technology to combat the spread of the coronavirus. Taiwan also worked tirelessly to assist countries in need, providing necessary medical technology and resources. Through collaboration, the international community can get through this difficult time together
Other than pandemic challenges, Taiwan is a society with an aging population. To meet the needs of the aging population, Taiwan implemented the Long-Term Care Plan 2.0 in 2017 and expanded the number of people covered, increased the number of long-term care system, and will continue to diversify services, from home care to institutions providing residential care.
In the future, Taiwan will continue to share our expertise in medical services and healthcare with the international community. President Tsai emphasized that being able to maintain one's health is a matter of basic human rights, and "Taiwan can help, and Taiwan is help". Regardless of how daunting the future challenges are, Taiwan will work proactively with the international community to achieve global health for all.

Post-COVID-19 Era: Achieving SDGs through Global Solidarity
The pandemic of COVID-19 have caused millions of confirmed cases and more than one million deaths since December 2019. It also resulted in economic recession in almost all countries. Low-income families and vulnerable industries have been most severely influenced. Almost all SDGs except “life below water” and “life on land” were affected by COVID-19. The response to COVID-19 in Taiwan was ranked as the best by the Bloomberg Economics and Newsweek Japan in late July, and Oxford Martin School in mid-September. The four major principles underpinning Taiwan’s success of COVID-19 containment include prudent action, rapid response, early deployment, and transparency. There were no city lockdown and mass screening in Taiwan, while the information and communication technology (ICT) and artificial intelligence (AI) were used to facilitate border control and quarantine, contact tracing and tracking, precision testing, home isolation/quarantine, cell broadcast of hotspot, mass production and name-based rationing of personal protection equipment, hospital infection control, promotion of personal hygiene, social distancing and avoidance of large-scale gatherings, financial relief and economic stimulus, and international collaboration. The Central Epidemic Command Center has held daily press briefings since January, and quickly established its authority and earned the trust of the public. The public trust has had a stabilizing influence on society, encouraging citizens to follow government guidance and rules, and making the public less vulnerable to disinformation campaigns. Solidarity is the key for the successful containment of COVID-19 and maintenance of economic vitality in Taiwan. Taiwan is helping many countries during this pandemic period. In the post-COVID-19 era, zero-contact economy with zero-distance innovation based on ICT and AI will become more and more important. Global solidarity through mutual trust and international collaboration is essential for achieving SDGs extensively and progressively in the world.

Social Justice, Health Equity and Covid-19
Taking action to reduce health inequalities is a matter of social justice. In developing strategies for tackling health inequalities we need to confront the social gradient in health not just the difference between the worst off and everybody else. There is clear evidence when we look across countries that national policies make a difference and that much can be done in cities, towns and local areas. But policies and interventions must not be confined to the health care system; they need to address the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. The evidence shows that economic circumstances are important but are not the only drivers of health inequalities. Tackling the health gap will take action, based on sound evidence, across the whole of society. The pandemic has exposed and amplified underlying inequalities in society that lead to inequalities in health.
