Taipei, July 13 (CNA) The Discovery Channel will present a new series of documentaries that will showcase Taiwan's achievements in innovative medical techniques and medical assistance to less developed countries.

The two-episode program "Taiwan Revealed: Medical Elite," was made in cooperation with Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will premiere in Taiwan July 20, according to the channel.

The one-hour episode will also feature innovations by Taiwanese doctors. These include a pair of surgical glasses that allows X-ray vision; a wearable exoskeleton suit to help patients with spinal cord injuries to walk again; and a cure for Pompe disease, a rare genetic disorder that was considered incurable, the channel said.

The second and final episode, which will be aired in Taiwan on July 27, focuses on other Taiwanese doctors, including Lien Jih-ching (連日清), who is recognized for his contribution to getting rid of malaria in Sao Tome and Principe in West Africa.

Other doctors featured in that episode include Chang Yu-tai (張裕泰), who led a medical mission to West Africa and brought advanced equipment and methods to help train the local medical personnel, and Chang Mei-hwei (張美惠), whose innovative screening method for biliary atresia, a life-threatening disease in newborns, has been adopted in numerous advanced countries.

At the premiere on Tuesday, Vice President Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) lauded Taiwan's medical achievements, saying that the country has grown from a recipient to a provider of international assistance.

Foreign Minister David Lee (李大維) said that in highlighting Taiwan's medical assistance to less developed countries, the documentaries which will help promote Taiwan's unrelenting efforts to provide humanitarian assistance in the international arena.

The foreign ministry and Discovery Channel have worked together to produce eight programs so far to tell various aspects of the Taiwan story.
