Taiwan has set up a $US2 million medical fund to boost co-operation with countries in the Pacific Islands Forum.
All Forum members can apply for funding to support medical teams from Taiwan traveling to their countries to provide medical services at Republic of China (Taiwan) embassies or representative offices.
Of the 18 members of the Forum, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, the Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu are diplomatic allies of Taiwan.
