My wife is a foreign spouse who just arrived in Taiwan. She is currently pregnant and does not have an NHI card. Is there any subsidy for prenatal checkups?

After arriving in Taiwan, new immigrants who are employed may enroll in the National Health Insurance (NHI) starting from the date they begin employment. All other new immigrants must hold valid residency documents and have resided continuously in Taiwan for six months before they are eligible to enroll in the NHI.
To continue protecting the reproductive health of new immigrant women before they are covered by the NHI, pregnant new immigrant women may prepare the following documents and apply at the health center of the township, city, or district where they reside for the “Subsidy for Prenatal Examinations and Postpartum Health Care Services for Pregnant New Immigrant Women Not Covered by National Health Insurance.” Applicants will be issued an Individual Case Record Form. The required documents are:
(1) Original residence permit.
(2) Original household registration certificate or household registration transcript.
Pregnant new immigrant women who have not yet received the Maternal and Child Health Handbook (Pregnancy Health Handbook) may present the Individual Case Record Form at medical institutions or midwifery clinics (hereinafter referred to as “medical institutions”) to receive prenatal examinations and postpartum health care.
Those who have already received the Pregnancy Health Handbook must present both the Individual Case Record Form and the Pregnancy Health Handbook when receiving prenatal examinations at medical institutions.
One Individual Case Record Form must be used for each prenatal examination or postpartum health care service. Except under special circumstances, replacement forms will not be issued if the original is lost.
