In an effort to achieve a target of 80% of patients controlling the three highs and protecting kidney health within eight years, Taiwan leads the international trend of precise prevention with public-private collaboration in response to the new health goals of Healthy Taiwan.
TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 March 2025 - As the global aging process accelerates, the prevention and care of chronic diseases have become a top priority for countries worldwide. The Taiwanese government has actively responded to international trends by promoting the "Healthy Taiwan" policy and launching the "Three Highs Prevention 888 Plan." At the third "Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee" meeting held last month, new goals were announced to reduce the standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases related to the three highs by one-third by 2030, aiming to strengthen chronic disease prevention and control measures through public-private collaboration. In alignment with the vision of "Healthy Taiwan" and the 888 Plan, and connecting with the international trend of "precision prevention" of chronic disease management, the Taiwan Diabetes Association formally presented the "T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration" at the Asia Diabetes International Conference.

With a comprehensive national health insurance system in place, Taiwan ensures that every high-risk group can receive proactive prevention and personalized management early on, demonstrating international competitiveness in the accessibility and completeness of chronic disease care. To address the increasingly severe challenge of chronic diseases—particularly hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes (the three highs), and chronic kidney disease—the Taiwan Diabetes Association unveiled the "T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration" at the 17th Scientific Meeting of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). This declaration was made in witness of various governmental agencies, academic institutions, and medical associations, including the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes, the National Health Insurance Administration, the Health Promotion Administration, Academia Sinica, the National Health Research Institutes, the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, and the Taiwan Society of Cardiology. The declaration responds to the government's vision of "Healthy Taiwan" and the goals of the 888 Plan, which focus on delaying disability and increasing life expectancy. It proposes a comprehensive health care model for chronic diseases centered around risk stratification, precision medicine, and digital management, further promoting the integration of holistic health care and medical services, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to drive a new paradigm of chronic disease prevention and treatment.
