Four decades ago, Taiwan was an undeveloped area, which received generous
economic and medical assistance from advanced countries. Now that Taiwan
is prosperous and democratic, it is ready to return the generosity of
the international community through both government and non-government
organizations, under the principle that medical care knows no boundary.
Today, Taiwan's NGOs are ready to step out and see the world, while
letting the world understand the contributions Taiwan can make to
it in return.
