Representatives from the Taiwanese and Malaysian Neurosurgical Societies recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), strengthening medical exchange and collaboration between the two countries.

The MoU signed between the Taiwan Neurosurgical Society (TNS) and the Neurosurgical Association of Malaysia (NAM) is seen as a key development in Taiwan-Malaysia neurosurgical collaboration.

It strengthens opportunities for Malaysian neurosurgeons to benefit from Taiwan's advanced innovations. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in Taiwan's New Southbound Policy, further promoting medical partnerships across Southeast Asia.

Chou Aichi, CEO of CMUH's International Centre, emphasised that neurosurgery has been a focal point for Taiwan-Malaysia medical exchanges for the past three years under the Ministry of Health and Welfare's "New Southbound Medical and Health Cooperation and Industry Development" initiative. The partnership includes seminars, hospital visits, health lectures, and physician training in Taiwan.
