Diabetes Association Unveils T-CaReMe Taipei Declaration at the Asia Diabetes International Conference

In an effort to achieve a target of 80% of patients controlling the three highs and protecting kidney health within eight years, Taiwan leads the international trend of precise prevention with public-private collaboration in response to the new health goals of Healthy Taiwan.

Taipei, Taiwan--(Newsfile Corp. - March 29, 2025) - As the global aging process accelerates, the prevention and care of chronic diseases have become a top priority for countries worldwide. The Taiwanese government has actively responded to international trends by promoting the "Healthy Taiwan" policy and launching the "Three Highs Prevention 888 Plan." At the third "Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee" meeting held last month, new goals were announced to reduce the standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases related to the three highs by one-third by 2030, aiming to strengthen chronic disease prevention and control measures through public-private collaboration. In alignment with the vision of "Healthy Taiwan" and the 888 Plan, and connecting with the international trend of "precision prevention" of chronic disease management, the Taiwan Diabetes Association formally presented the "T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration" at the Asia Diabetes International Conference.

With a comprehensive national health insurance system in place, Taiwan ensures that every high-risk group can receive proactive prevention and personalized management early on, demonstrating international competitiveness in the accessibility and completeness of chronic disease care. To address the increasingly severe challenge of chronic diseases-particularly hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes (the three highs), and chronic kidney disease-the Taiwan Diabetes Association unveiled the "T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration" at the 17th Scientific Meeting of the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes (AASD). This declaration was made in witness of various governmental agencies, academic institutions, and medical associations, including the Asian Association for the Study of Diabetes, the National Health Insurance Administration, the Health Promotion Administration, Academia Sinica, the National Health Research Institutes, the Taiwan Society of Nephrology, and the Taiwan Society of Cardiology. The declaration responds to the government's vision of "Healthy Taiwan" and the goals of the 888 Plan, which focus on delaying disability and increasing life expectancy. It proposes a comprehensive health care model for chronic diseases centered around risk stratification, precision medicine, and digital management, further promoting the integration of holistic health care and medical services, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to drive a new paradigm of chronic disease prevention and treatment.

The Taiwan Diabetes Association Unveils T-CaReMe Declaration to Promote Precision Care Blueprint for Kidney Health in Relation to the Three Highs

With the trends of aging, prolonged illness, and the emergence of chronic diseases at younger ages, chronic disease prevention and management have become a global focus. Taiwan is following international trends by establishing the "Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee," which has set two major health goals for the next eight years: to increase the average life expectancy of the population from 79 to 82 years and to reduce the proportion of unhealthy life expectancy from 10% to 8%. To strengthen chronic disease management, the government recently announced a target at the Healthy Taiwan Promotion Committee meeting to "reduce the standardized mortality rate of chronic diseases related to the three highs by one-third by 2030," along with comprehensive strategies promoting healthy lifestyles, obesity prevention, and holistic management of chronic diseases, through public-private collaboration to enhance health policies and reduce the risks of chronic diseases and disabilities.

The Taiwan Diabetes Association has released the "T-CaReMe Precision Care Taipei Declaration," making "Kidney Protection in Relation to the Three Highs" a core focus. Through the T-CaReMe initiative, the vision of "risk stratification, precision medicine, digital management, and increased life expectancy" is implemented, along with five key action frameworks: promoting precise risk diagnostics, standardized clinical guidelines, personalized health management, data sharing, and interdisciplinary collaboration. The goal is to ensure that 80% of patients with the three highs and kidney disease achieve control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids while ensuring that 80% of kidney disease patients receive care and medication guidance from care managers, thereby enhancing survival rates and improving health quality, creating a stronger defense for chronic disease care in the population.
