Promote the development of the domestic biotech and pharmaceutical industry by verifying the effectiveness and safety of products and enabling their entry into international markets. By attracting international pharmaceutical companies to conduct clinical trials in Taiwan, we will not only benefit patients but also accumulate experience in conducting large-scale clinical trials for domestic medical institutions and medical personnel, further promoting the development of the domestic biotech and pharmaceutical industry. Encourage domestic medical personnel to initiate clinical trials, propose solutions according to the needs of patients, improve patient prognoses, and promote the update and development of related medical policies. Through the implementation of the above plan, we expect to make significant contributions to the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases in Taiwan and globally.

Economic benefits

The domestic COVID-19 epidemic has spread in Taiwan since March 2020. Dr. Hsieh Szu-Min assisted vaccine companies in developing and providing safe, protective and effective vaccines. The cumulative number of high-end administration of the first, second and third doses exceeded 2.68 million. doses (statistics as of May 2012), the accumulated experience can be continued and passed on, giving the country the ability to develop its own vaccines to respond to the risks of emerging infectious diseases.

Social and other aspects
