In addition to safeguarding not only the elderly and young but also
every individual across their entire lifespan, we have been diligently
cultivating a health-supportive environment. To this end, the Ministry
continues to drive amendments to the Tobacco Hazards Prevention
Act, effectively regulating novel nicotine and tobacco products.
Simultaneously, under the provisions of the Mental Health Act, we ensure
the protection of patients' rights, offering support and assistance to foster
their integration into the community and promote the mental well-being
of the people. Furthermore, through the comprehensive implementation
of the "Five-Point Food Safety Policy" and a range of measures, such as
the promotion of food business registration, intensified inspections and
sampling, and more stringent penalties, we have steadfastly enforced
food safety policies. At the same time, we have taken great strides in
advancing Good Manufacturing Practices for pharmaceuticals, bolstering
the monitoring of controlled drugs, and elevating the quality management
standards of traditional Chinese medicines, thereby fortifying the
foundations of medication safety. In 2022, the "Review Meeting of the
ROC's Second Report under the Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities" in August and the "Review Meeting of the ROC's Second
Report under the Convention on the Rights of the Child" in November,
were held in Taiwan and the international experts were invited to review
