Taiwan-Cambodia Medicine, Humanities, Science and Technology Innovation Center

This project evolves from various international collaborative projects conducted over time by the Project Director, Ministry of Science & Technology, and Ministry of Health. With the joint efforts of Cambodia’s business, government, academia and research communities, Taiwan’s experience is to be completely transplanted and built into Cambodia’s jump-leap development fabric in the medical and health infrastructure. It will include Taiwan’s smart health total-solution system in the post-pandemic era, with measures to provide teaching, services, R&D, medicine, and medical equipment. It will pave way for Cambodia’s future medicare system by establishing Taiwan’s overseas demo site for long-distance medicare and smart health system. Furthermore, it will become a competitive and synergetic international reserve center.

Objectives

First Year

This 3-year project is to be launched in the first year by establishing a telemedicine and smart health service system in Cambodia with a chain of pharmacy, clinic, hospital, test lab, and facilities. Thereby, the center will serve as a prototype for supporting other countries.

Second Year

In the second year, a roadmap will be charted in collaboration with Cambodian universities for e-learning and comprehensive clinical human resources training in hospitals.

Third Year

In the third year, an information clearinghouse will be established for HL-7 smart management system of clinical ethics and clinical information exchange. In addition, a cross-border clinical research platform will be proposed, with 3 international R&D proposals to help Taiwan’s export business, to establish a Cambodia smart health and living lab with the Phnom Penh as the medical center, and to implement a business model for user participation in services in the framework of shared economy.
