Lin stresses that NTUH is known throughout Asia for its expertise in hepatitis, organ transplants and cancer treatment, having created its own niche. But due to difficulties sourcing organs for transplants, international healthcare would be better suited to specific treatments such as liver disease, infertility and cardiovascular disease treatment, open-heart surgery, and in vitro fertilization.
林鶴雄強調，台大醫院在肝炎、器官移植、癌症診斷治療等領域聞名亞洲，自有利基，但由於器官移植有器官來源不易取得的問題，因此發展國際醫療時，較適合推出肝病治療、開心手術、心血管疾病、不孕症、試管嬰兒等主題式醫療。
