The Department of Labor, The Taipei City Government has been running free health care events for foreign migrant workers. The fourth session has already finished, serving more than 230 workers in one day. The department said the final session of the year will be on November 9 at Taipei Main Station, and all legally employed migrant workers in Taiwan are welcome to join the free check-up.
Health is a basic right for everyone and the key to working with peace of mind. For many migrant workers who travel far to Taiwan, language barriers and long working hours often cause them to miss the chance for timely check-ups and treatment. The Taipei City Government hopes that through this free health service, migrant workers can feel safe at work and live healthier lives.
Besides general check-ups, there will also be consultations in dentistry, ENT, internal medicine, gynecology, psychosomatic medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine. Interpreters will be available on site so workers can clearly communicate their condition to doctors and understand the medical advice.
The Department of Labor, The Taipei City Government said the number of migrant workers in Taiwan is about to pass 850,000, with more than 250,000 working as caregivers. Nearly 20% of them are in Taipei City, the largest share in the country. Many migrant workers put off medical care because of busy schedules or language barriers, so the health events provide interpreters to support communication and give health guidance. Over the past ten years, more than 2,000 migrant workers have benefited from this program.

免費移工健檢 今年最終場在11月9日
台北市政府勞動局推動外籍移工免費健康關懷活動，今年第四場已經結束，當天服務超過230名移工。勞動局表示，今年最後一場為11月9日在台北車站，歡迎所有在台灣合法工作的移工把握免費健康檢查的機會。
健康是每個人最基本的權益，也是安心工作的基礎。對許多遠渡重洋來臺打拚的移工而言，語言隔閡、工時限制等，常使他們錯過檢查與治療的時機。台北市政府希望透過免費健檢服務，讓所有移工都能安心工作、健康生活。
除了一般身體檢查外，現場還有牙科、耳鼻喉科、內科、婦科、身心醫學科及中醫等專科諮詢，並安排雙語人員協助，諮詢時可以和醫生討論自己的情況，也能聽懂醫生的建議。
台北市勞動局說，在台移工人數將突破850000人，其中有超過250000從事看護工作，而台北市就占了將近20%，人數最多。為了解決移工因時間有限、語言溝通不便而延遲就醫的問題，健康關懷活動安排雙語人員協助，提供健康與衛生保健諮詢，10多年來已累積超過2000名移工受益。
