What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare has reaffirmed that it does not recognize medical qualifications obtained in China for licensing purposes. This policy was brought into renewed attention following allegations that a doctor practicing in southern Taiwan used a suspected forged United States medical diploma to obtain a license under a different name. The restrictions cover medicine, dentistry, and traditional Chinese medicine.
