Page 11 - 2022 Taiwan Health and Welfare Report

In accordance with the organizational restructuring of the Executive Yuan, the Ministry of Health and Welfare (hereinafter referred to as the "MOHW") was established in 2013, by integrating 21 divisions and task forces of the former Department of Health, five subordinate authorities, the Ministry of the Interior's Department of Social Affairs, Child Welfare Bureau, Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Prevention Committee, National Pension Supervisory Committee, and the Ministry of Education's National Research Institute of Chinese Medicine. A humancentric health and welfare network was thus formed to improve the people's health and well-being.
Guided by our mission of "promoting the health and well-being for all citizens" and our vision of "becoming the most trusted government agency", the Ministry will adhere to global and innovative thinking with localized strategies to integrate social welfare and healthcare resources
as we diligently plan administrative measures and integrated, consistent public policies so that we can deliver comprehensive, one-stop services that will enable all citizens to lead more joyful and healthier lives.
Chapter 1 Organizational Structure
The minister oversees ministry affairs and is aided by two deputy ministers, one vice minister, and one secretary-general. The MOHW consists of nine departments, six administrative departments, seven mission-oriented units, and six affiliated third-level agencies (institutes). It oversees 26 hospitals and 13 social welfare institutions, as shown in Figure 1-1. The MOHW is responsible for health promotion, disease control, long-term care, food safety and drug management, medical care, social insurance, social welfare, social assistance, and protective services.
