This paper reports on the 'Symposium on Recent Progress in Family Medicine in the Asia-Pacific Region' held during the 2025 WONCA (World Organization of Family Doctors) World Conference in Lisbon. It reviews the current development, challenges, and innovations in community care across six countries/regions-Australia, Mainland China, Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia-to serve as a strategic reference. The key progress of each nation is summarized as follows: Australia possesses a mature system but faces health workforce shortages and financial pressures; it is currently promoting value-based funding, digital transformation, and the expansion of the Medicare budget. Mainland China is implementing family doctor contract services to increase primary care utilization, though it faces challenges regarding quality consistency and regional disparities. Taiwan has demonstrated high-quality palliative care and international influence through legal frameworks protecting patient autonomy; however, there is still room for improvement in non-cancer care and manpower distribution. Japan, in response to a super-aging society, is dedicated to promoting the ''Community-based Integrated Care System'' within a '30-minute living radius' and interdisciplinary team training. The Philippines and Indonesia are both leveraging national legislation (such as the Universal Health Care Act and the Health Law of 2023) to strengthen the central role of family physicians in the community, while striving to improve training systems and address the inequitable distribution of medical resources. Finally, this paper synthesizes these international experiences to provide insights for the future development of family medicine in Taiwan. |
