Taipei City Government

With Mother’s Day just two weeks away, the Foreign and Disabled Labor Office (FDLO) has teamed up with Taipei City Hospital and Tzu Chi International Medical Association to offer medical consultation and health checkup for foreign worker mothers who leave their families behind for employment in Taiwan.
 
The event will take place in the afternoon of April 29 at the open area between West 1 Gate and North 3 Gate of Taipei Railway Station, with activities including a carnation giveaway, postcard writing, and free haircut service.
 
Visitors will be able to access free checkup in the following areas: ophthalmology, dermatology, dentistry, general medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, psychosomatic medicine, and Chinese medicine. There will also be fliers to educate migrant workers on health-related issues.
 
According to Department of Labor Commissioner Lai Hsiang-lin, to assist workers who don’t use Chinese, there will be bilingual staff to help with communication. Free postcard will be offered to the foreign worker moms to write messages to their families and children back in their homelands. The postcards will be collected and mailed together by the FDLO.
