Taiwan’s ambassador to Guatemala, Miguel Tsao, advocates for Taiwan’s inclusion in the World Health Assembly, highlighting the nation’s effective response to public health emergencies like COVID-19. Despite contributions to global health, political barriers prevent Taiwan’s WHO participation. Tsao urges international support for Taiwan’s observer status, emphasizing the benefits of Taiwan’s expertise in combating pandemics.

The Fire Bureau of Changhua County reported 53 emergency medical cases in the last 24 hours, including five instances of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), possibly linked to a sudden dip in temperatures due to an extreme cold wave in Taiwan. The OHCA victims, aged 65 to 87, had yet to have the exact causes determined. Although the number of emergency cases is consistent with the daily average of 54, the number of non-responsive patients increased from three to five. The CHFD advises older adults, those with cardiovascular diseases, and others susceptible to cold weather to dress warmly. The Changhua County Public Health Bureau urges anyone experiencing symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest tightness to seek immediate medical care.
