A motion supporting Taiwan’s bid to join the World Health Organization passed unanimously in the House of Commons on Oct. 5, ahead of the island’s annual National Day celebration on Oct. 10.

The motion concurs with the Commons health committee’s recommendation back in April to endorse Taiwan’s full participation in the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Health Assembly (WHA), WHO’s governing body.
