The Foundation of Medical Professionals Alliance in Taiwan (FMPAT) is a non-governmental organization based in Taiwan.
Dr Chen-Yuan Lee, a Taiwanese pharmacologist, professor emeritus of the College of Medicine of the National Taiwan University, former fellow of Academica Sinica, and an important political figure during the period of democratization of Taiwan founded the Medical Professionals Alliance in Taiwan on 1 March 1992. On 19 July 1992, the foundation gained its formal status as Foundation of Medical Professionals Alliance in Taiwan (FMPAT).
The first activity of the foundation was to push the Kuomintang and the president Lee Teng-hui(李登輝) to abolish the Sedition Punishment Act (懲治叛亂條例) and Article 100 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of China(中華民國刑法第100條). Since 1992, FMPAT has developed in Taiwan's medical profession a sense of social responsibility, medical training, biotech development and providing health-policy advice to the government. Today, it is one of the many groups trying to form relationships with international nongovernmental organizations to lobby for Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization.
Currently, the President of the FMPAT is Dr. Wu Shuh-min (吳樹民). The former legislator is the Chief Executive Officer of the foundation.
The board of directors and the board of supervisors elect standing directors and supervisors. The president, elected by standing directors, represents the foundation externally and manages its operations internally.
