Medical in Taiwan

If this is a medical emergency dial 1-1-9 to reach the ambulance and emergency services in Taiwan. OR call one of the medical centers listed in the Hospital and Medical Centers article and they may have the ability to dispatch one of their own emergency vehicles to come and get you. All else failing and if communication is proving difficult get a taxi.

When teaching in Taiwan you automatically qualify for the national medical coverage BUT and this is a HUGE BUT - BUT this does NOT start immediately. In order for this to begin you have to have your Alien Residence Card. The process to get this status is identified in Taiwan Teaching Visas. This can take upwards of 3 months to get established. Be sure to get emergency medical coverage before you go or if you're already there, get it now.

Mathew Smallwood “A calm breeze lightly tosses my hair about, as I stroll the waterfront not far from my apartment. The waves crashing the shore have an intoxicating scent that propels all sorts of pleasant daydreaming. Am I in paradise? No I am most certainly not. But I am in a country I was dying to visit, and got more than I anticipated. Footprints Recruiting set me up with an ideal job that fits my teaching desires and has thus provided a backdrop to an amazing experience. I left for Korea in October of 2003, and I am currently teaching in Haeundae Beach Busan. Footprints takes care of you in a way that dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s are just the tip of the iceberg. I recommend this to the adventure seeking minds.”
