Health care in Taiwan

What are the health risks in Taiwan?

Taiwan is generally a safe country in terms of health, but there are a few risks to bear in mind. Travelers should protect themselves against mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue and Zika by using repellents and avoiding high-risk areas. Air pollution, especially in Taipei during winter, can affect sensitive people, so keep an eye on the air quality indexes.

What type of plumbing system should I use?

We recommend using private health establishments or renowned clinics in major cities for medical care. Public hospitals can be under-equipped and overcrowded, leading to delays in care.

Travelling responsibly in Taiwan

How can you reduce risks by traveling responsibly?

  1. Respect the environment: Preserve natural beauty by avoiding littering and respecting protection rules in natural parks and sensitive areas.
  2. Be respectful of the culture: Familiarize yourself with local customs and standards of conduct. Wear appropriate clothing when visiting religious sites, and respect local traditions.
  3. Support local businesses: Promote local businesses, restaurants and markets to support the local economy and encourage sustainable tourism.
  4. Reduce your carbon footprint: Opt for eco-friendly means of transport such as public transport or cycling to reduce your impact on the environment.
  5. Save water and energy: Use natural resources responsibly, whether at the hotel or elsewhere. Turn off the lights and air conditioning when you leave your room.
