Taiwan Coronavirus WHO Observer Status
The motion
The Parliament notes that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared on 31 January 2020 that the outbreak of 2019 novel coronavirus originating from Wuhan, China, is a public health emergency of international concern; further notes with regret that Taiwan has not been granted observer status to attend WHO technical meetings, mechanisms and activities related to the epidemic; acknowledges that Taiwan has made successful efforts to combat the disease on its own and is willing and in a position to share with WHO and other countries its expertise and experience, and supports Taiwan’s observer status inclusion in related meetings to jointly fight this epidemic.
