Maine House and Senate Pass Joint Resolution Endorsing Taiwan's Participation in the World Health Organization, May 01, 2006

The Maine House of Representatives and Senate passed a joint resolution endorsing Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization on April 20, 2006. The resolution cited numerous reasons why Taiwan should be granted observer status including, in part, the fact that good health is essential to every citizen of the world and access to health information and services of the highest standard is necessary to improve public health, especially in light of the great potential for cross-boarder spread of disease.

The resolution commends Taiwan's effort to improve world health and the many contributions Taiwan has made to improve world health. The resolution further notes that Taiwan's effort to join the WHO is supported by the United States House of Representatives and Senate, as well as the European Parliament.
