Since the 1980s, the Taiwan government started to develop the E-government, with websites constructed to diffuse resources. Meanwhile, the rise of consumer awareness has led to the growth of consumer-oriented websites, providing information of medicine and health and resulting in wide discussions on health-related issues.
