松山機場位於台北市中心,長期服務偏鄉離島的緊急醫療後送及醫事人員往返交通。近年來,台北市長蔣萬安提出松山機場遷建構想,引發各界討論。
台北市長蔣萬安提出松山機場遷建構想,引發醫療界關注。衛福部長石崇良今天表示,松山機場是偏鄉離島緊急醫療後送的重要據點,討論遷建時,應將緊急醫療後送機制及支援偏鄉醫事人員的往返交通成本,一併納入規劃。
石崇良今天出席「物理治療人工智慧全球高峰會」,會前受訪表示,目前衛福部合作的離島醫療後送定翼飛機,以及空勤後送,多以松山機場為主要後送機場。也有醫師擔心,遷建將影響支援偏鄉醫療人力的往返交通,這些都凸顯松山機場遷建需要更廣泛、詳細的討論與規劃,醫療後送更是絕對需要納入討論的事項。

石崇良指出,金門、馬祖的醫療後送主要抵達台北松山機場;澎湖則有時往高雄,有時往台北或台中。台東及蘭嶼、綠島等地的緊急醫療後送,也涉及台北的醫療資源,因此除病人後送外,醫療人員往返的交通成本同樣需要考量。
台灣在宅醫療學會榮譽理事長、台東都蘭診所院長余尚儒指出,如果台東不能直飛松山機場,對病人就醫將有很大影響。他在候機時常看到病人搭機赴台北看病,包括使用輪椅等行動不便者,有些人早上出發,中午看完診,下午就能返回台東,交通便利性對他們的就醫需求很重要。
余尚儒認為,AI園區選址可考慮其他地點,醫療則需要人與人直接、實體互動,交通便利性及可近性不能忽視。
台灣在宅醫療學會理事長陳英詔表示,松山機場遷建不只影響台東,也涉及金門及其他偏鄉。部分醫師因子女教育等家庭因素,家人仍住在都會區,但願意往返偏鄉服務,松山機場有其不可取代性。
陳英詔指出,偏鄉部分專科缺乏在地醫師,需要都會區醫師支援,交通方便與否,是影響支援意願的重要因素。搭1小時飛機與搭4、5小時火車,時間成本及勞累程度差很多;醫師若上午看完門診,中午搭機,下午還能趕到偏鄉服務,改搭火車就可能難以在半天內完成。
台東基督教醫院醫師劉漢鼎日前在臉書發文表示,他認識的台東醫師中,不少是家住台北的「空中飛人」,平日搭機到台東上班,假日再飛回台北與家人團聚。1名醫師曾告訴他,十幾年往返台北、台東的交通花費,足以在台北買一棟房子。
劉漢鼎指出,台鐵台北至台東單程常需4、5個小時,連假又常一票難求。他認為,一旦松山機場遷走,時間與精神成本提高,不少把飛機當巴士的醫師可能選擇離開,直言「松山機場若要遷,台東醫療會先垮」,呼籲正視遷建對東部醫療人力的衝擊。

Major hospitals in Hsinchu County had given birth to 14 newborns before 12 a.m. on National Day, including 10 boys and 4 girls. TECO General Hospital has the largest number of births, and the Health Bureau also promotes children's health and safety protection measures.

There are two new imported cases of dengue fever in Tainan City, one from Jiali District and one from Qui Nhon District. The places of infection are Vietnam and Malaysia. The Dengue Fever Prevention and Control Center proactively carries out environmental cleanup, vector mosquito monitoring and health education promotion, and calls on the public to implement "patrol, dump, clean and brush" to reduce the risk of transmission.

A small study conducted by Tufts University and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the United States showed that after stopping GLP-1 weight loss drugs, participants who used digital health apps or received meals designed by a nutritionist only gained about 3.6% of their weight within 4 months, which was lower than the 10.75% of the general care group. However, the small scale of the study and the short follow-up time mean that long-term effects cannot be confirmed.

Liu Haowen, president of the Verme Clinic, cited research on nearly 9 million people around the world and pointed out that increased intake of ultra-processed foods is associated with a 23%-24% increase in the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes, and a 27% increase in the risk of depression and anxiety. The reason is that artificial additives destroy intestinal flora and cause chronic inflammation. It is recommended to select two or three items from daily ultra-processed foods and replace them with original or minimally processed foods.

The "White Paper on the Quality of Life of Chinese Gastric Cancer Patients" is based on the data of 1,004 patients. It shows that nearly 70% of patients seek medical treatment due to symptoms, but about 40% delay seeking medical treatment due to intolerable symptoms or lack of awareness. As a result, more than half have reached stage III or IV when diagnosed. Young patients account for 24.2%, with the youngest being only 20 years old, and are more likely to develop stage IV. After treatment, malnutrition, psychological and social burdens and economic pressure are prominent. Experts call for strengthening early screening, improving medical concepts and precision treatment patient education.

Huang Luqi, deputy director of China's State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said that traditional Chinese medicine has spread to 196 countries and regions.
