Support Taiwan
The North American Taiwanese Medical Association (NATMA) was founded in 1984 by a group of Taiwanese physicians residing in North America who were passionate about supporting Taiwan and preserving Taiwanese culture by serving as the healthcare industry voice for Taiwan outside of Taiwan. Today, the organization has grown to include over 1,500 health professionals. Our voice has become increasingly influential with our message of "Taiwan Can Help" and "NATMA Can Help.
