## Description

It regulates medical institutions and medical personnel and operates a public inquiry system for verifying whether a healthcare provider is a legally licensed practitioner. Physician and dentist licensing in Taiwan is administered at ministry level rather than through a separate professional council.

## Scope

Ministry-level regulation of medical care in Taiwan, including registration and oversight of medical personnel (physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists) and medical institutions, national health insurance, and food and drug safety.
