Hsueh agrees: price competition alone is not enough. Taiwan's healthcare providers also lack medical personnel fluent in English and Japanese. Each year more than 3 million international tourists visit Taiwan, with Japanese (41 %) and North Americans (16 %) at the fore.
薛瑞元同意，光是價格有競爭力並不夠，台灣醫療院所欠缺英語、日語流利的醫事人員，而每年三百多萬名的來台國際觀光客，正以日本（41 %）、美加人士（16 %）居多。
