Our work is guided by the principles of advancing healthcare, connecting health professionals, and helping all people globally. We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. NATMA was founded in 1984 by a group of passionate physicians and dentists in the United States. Today, we have chapters and members across the US, Canada, and Taiwan.

The NATMA Foundation

The North American Taiwanese Medical Association Foundation (NATMA Foundation) is a public charity that focuses on providing direct medical and dental care to people in need around the world. We also support healthcare progress by organizing educational programming for both medical professionals and the general public, as well as providing scholarships for students and trainees. In special circumstances, we also fundraise to provide direct donations to help communities recovering from warfare or natural disasters.

NATMA Foundation was formed in 1995. Our supporters hail from all over the world.
