Message from the President
Uniting Professional Strengths and Building a Sustainable Future for Palliative Care
First and foremost, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all members for your trust and support in entrusting me with the responsibility of serving as President of the Society.
Through the collective efforts of past presidents, board members, and the entire membership, our Society has made steady progress in professional education, workforce development, and international collaboration, laying a strong foundation for the advancement of palliative care in Taiwan.
Together with the Board and all members, I look forward to advancing four key priorities：
1. Advocating for reasonable NHI reimbursement and building a sustainable healthcare environment.
2. Strengthening professional development, enhancing clinical quality, and advancing academic excellence.
3. Broadening the scope of palliative care—from a good death to living well and joyfully.
4. Strengthening organizational governance and fostering greater engagement among members and the
wider community.
Let’s work hand in hand to advance our mission!
