Health ministry launches rewards program for taking care of yourself

2026-09-22

Starting October, taking good care of your health will come with benefits. The Ministry of Health and Welfare is rolling out a program in which completing certain health missions rewards users with Health Tokens that can be redeemed for goods and services. The tasks include actions such as going for health checkups, cancer screenings or getting vaccinated. The tokens can be exchanged starting December, with rewards including exercise and sports related products.

A new rewards program will soon offer Health Tokens to people who take good care of their physical wellbeing. Officials held a press conference on Tuesday to launch the program, with familiar faces such as Minister without Portfolio Chen Shih-chung and Health Minister Shih Chung-liang.

Shih Chung-liang
Minister of Health and Welfare
Our main goal is to encourage everyone to complete the tasks, especially during the first month. The app features a list of all the things you can redeem your Health Tokens for. During this first phase, it’s as if you were shopping online, exchanging the tokens for exercise-related benefits or products. You receive a QR code that you can use to redeem the goods.

Now, being on top of your health to-dos, actually pays off. There are three ways to earn Health Tokens. If you’re aged 18 and up, it’s as easy as downloading the NHI’s Health Passbook app, and ticking off the lists of tasks to get tokens. The missions include tasks like health checkups, cancer screenings and vaccinations. Then, in December, the tokens can be exchanged for products and other rewards.

Shih Chung-liang
Minister of Health and Welfare
We hope the program can be sustained, because we want to encourage people to adopt healthier lifestyles and habits. We wanted to make it accessible to everyone, so in this initial phase, all our partners operate nationwide. In the future, we may work with partners locally, such as county and city governments. Many of them already have reward programs of their own.

The program aims to encourage people to stop procrastinating screenings and vaccinations, and take better care of themselves. With tangible rewards to be had, the ministry hopes people will have extra motivation to take their health seriously.

2026-09-22

衛福部推出「健康幣」制度，10月1號開始正式上路，只要年滿18歲，完成健康檢查、癌症篩檢等，都能累積健康幣，12月起，甚至還能兌換健康商品或服務。

為鼓勵國人實踐健康管理，衛福部今年（2026）推出「健康幣」制度，週二（22）更舉行「顧健康賺飽幣」記者會，行政院政務委員陳時中，以及衛福部長石崇良等貴賓也到場，共同見證政策啟動。

“這個階段最主要是要鼓勵大家去做，第一個月就是要做。在我們的那個App上面，就會出現所有可兌換的項目，那第一個階段都是讓你上去，好像這個電子商城一樣去搜尋，你是要運動類的，還是要商品類的，然後到時候就會有這個QR code，拿這個QR code去兌換。”

健康也能「變現」！健康署署長現場公布，首波開放三種方式賺健康幣。民眾只要下載健保署「全民健保行動快易通」APP，年滿18歲，並完成指定健康任務，包括健康檢查、癌症篩檢，以及接種疫苗等，就能累積健康幣；12月起，更能拿累積的健康幣，兌換健康商品，換成實際回饋。

[[衛福部長石崇良]]
“我們希望它是可以持續的，因為我們希望改變你的這個生活的習慣。第一階段都是希望讓大家可以方便，可以兌換得到，所以我們選擇都是全國性的，那未來也會在跟區域性的合作，比如說跟縣市政府合作，有很多的縣市政府它也有一些幣。”

從鼓勵篩檢、打疫苗，到養成自主健康管理習慣，衛福部希望透過「有感回饋」，讓民眾顧健康，也能賺好康。

NTUE back on the stage for National Day celebration

The Goodwill Ambassador Team at National Taipei University of Education has once again been selected for the National Day welcoming ceremony after a three-year hiatus. This year they come equipped with brand-new uniforms, skills in foreign languages, good looks, and physical fitness. Some members resemble celebrities, such as Ruby Lin and Ella Chen. Today, they showcased the results of their training. Let’s see.

- It’s so hot! The sun is so strong, can anyone help me?
- The venue has seating arrangements, let me ask the security officer for you.

With their sweet smiles and professional performance, these are the goodwill ambassadors of National Taipei University of Education. Let’s take a look at the results of the training.

After a three-year break from the spotlight, National Taipei University of Education has returned for the National Day stage. With perfect posture and gestures, even their movements are in sync. Looking closer, some of their faces resemble celebrities. One looks like Ruby Lin and another like Ella Chen.

I personally think I look similar to Ruby Lin because my mother looks like her. This is a photo of my mother when she was younger. I look like Ruby Lin because of my mother’s genes.

At first, I thought, “Really?” because I only started hearing this in high school. Then my friends made a video, and I thought my personality was similar to Ella Chen. We are both the ones responsible for creating a lively atmosphere and being cheerful.

Good looks are not the only thing you need to serve National Day ceremonial guests, foreign language skills are also essential. Every member of the group is fluent in a foreign language. Standing on the big stage is not just about having a pretty smile.

Tung Po-shou
Chairman of International Protocol and Goodwill Association
There are a total of five universities that will provide protocol services for the National Day celebrations. They will oversee etiquette, verbal communication, and crisis management. They will be running around the track and undergoing rigorous training. This training started two years ago, with long intensive sessions three times a week.

On the surface, the National Day ceremony is wonderful and elegant. Behind it, however, lies rigorous and demanding training. With the event just around the corner, members continue to prepare to bring their best performance for the big stage.
