THE world-class medical referral services of Taiwan, Chang Hua Christian Hospital (CCH), has proven to be cost-effective.
The hospital’s international unit manager Kao said CCH was a world leader in tumor removal technology, especially oral tumor, with a survival rate of stage four cancer exceeding global standards.
“The centre is also committed to international medicare exchanges,” she said.
“The facility (pictured right) is based in the centre of Taiwan and has more than 60 specialties. We can care for any kind of cancer.
“The cost is diverse and depends on the person’s condition and the treatment of it, whether chemo, radiotherapy, target, surgery, and so on,” Kao said.
She said if a PNG patient wanted to go to CCH for an examination or treatment, the person would be required to send a medical report and image result for them to assess through the Port Moresby General Hospital.
Teleconsultation might be needed if the information was not clear or was not enough.
“According to the specialist’s assessment from the Port Moresby General Hospital, we will initiate an estimate quotation to the patient,” Kao said.
