Taiwan and the Czech Republic have signed a memorandum of understanding （MOU） to assist Ukraine in reconstructing its healthcare system.

Representative to the Czech Republic Ke Liang-ruey （柯良叡）, who participated online, and Czech Representative to Taiwan David Steinke signed the MOU in Taipei yesterday.

The two sides are to launch their first collaborative healthcare initiative to aid Ukraine, particularly the eastern part of the country, which has suffered the most severe damage, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. Under the MOU, Taiwan and the Czech Republic are to help with the provisions of primary care services, including general practice, surgery, gynecology and rehabilitation, it said.

They are to help build small, mobile medical facilities — tents or container units that are able to provide a “one-stop” service for patients, it said.

In areas where designated medical facilities cannot be set up due to security concerns, digital solutions using telecommunication and smart management technologies are to be provided, it said.

Taiwan and the Czech Republic are bound strongly together by the values of democracy and freedom, showing the world that democracies support and help each other, said Czech envoy for Ukraine reconstruction Tomas Kopecny, who witnessed the signing online.
