Abstract: The document is a congressional resolution (FSM Congressional Resolution 13-2) from the Thirteenth Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia, which took place during the first regular session in 2003. The main purpose of this resolution is to support Taiwan in its effort to achieve observer status in the World Health Organization (WHO).

It acknowledges that good health is a fundamental right for all citizens globally and that access to high-quality health information and services is essential to ensure this right. The resolution notes that the WHO aims for the highest level of health attainment for all peoples, but Taiwan has been excluded from participating in the organization.

It highlights the importance of widespread international cooperation in health organizations, particularly in light of increasing threats like infectious diseases such as SARS. Taiwan has expressed a willingness to provide financial and technical assistance to global health care endeavors .The exclusion of Taiwan from the WHO not only creates a gap in the global health network but also denies its 23 million citizens access to important health information and medical resources available to other WHO member countries.

The resolution concludes by extending formal support from the Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia for Taiwan’s bid, and certified copies of the resolution are to be sent to key officials within Micronesia and to the Government of Taiwan. This resolution was introduced by Peter M. Christian and puts Micronesia’s stance in alignment with other supporters like the United States and the European Parliamen
