July 25, 2025
If you're visiting Taiwan with kids, our New Dawn Health team is excited to share a short list of resources that will help make your stay a smooth one.
Clinics:
In general, access to quality doctors and hospitals is efficient and affordable, even out-of-pocket. At doctor clinics, you would pay a small registration fee of around $200-300 NT (less than $10 USD) to see the doctor and receive medicine.

Eye clinics (for children)
Hospitals - Pediatrics department and Urgent Care:
Hospitals have pediatrics departments (with doctors who speak English) that can perform the regular checkups if your child is sick, just like the clinics do. Still, there will be more registration paperwork involved, and you will spend extra time going to different counters to register, get medicine, and make payments.
Two specific gems to share:
-
The hospitals’ immunology and allergy pediatric department can perform allergy panels, which consist of a blood test that checks approximately 30 potential allergens (the out-of-pocket cost for this is roughly $100 USD).
-
The pediatric ophthalmology department at NTU is renowned for its expertise in addressing the unique vision needs of children, especially those who require surgery or further evaluation.
