Abstract:
Timely administration of antiviral drugs for influenza can reduce complications and mortality, and is cost-effective. The antiviral drugs for influenza are not enrolled into the national health insurance benefits in Taiwan. The current antiviral drugs for influenza are from the pandemic stockpile prepared by Taiwan CDC. The strategy and feasibility of enrolling antiviral drugs for influenza into the national health insurance benefits are warranted.
