The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assigned its commissioners today (July 4, 2015) to finish checking and accepting the first batch of cadaveric skin arriving in Taiwan (total of 115 pieces, 37,000 cm2). This batch of cadaveric skin from the USA arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport on the night of July 3, 2015, and will be arranged and delivered continually to each hospital according to the needs of Formosa Fun Coast Dust Explosion victims for use as a wound dressing for burn patients after debridement. 

Due to the effective communication between the FDA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the full cooperation of the supplier, cadaveric skin (90,000 cm2) from Europe, which was originally to have arrived in Taiwan on July 7, will hopefully arrive at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport this afternoon. It will also be sped through the customs clearance processing, and then will be sent to a skin bank with an installment license. The next batch of cadaveric skin, with a total area of 120,000 cm2, was delivered from the USA on July 2, though it was to have arrived in Taiwan on July 5. These three batches of cadaveric skin cover a total area of 245,000 cm2. Furthermore, the FDA, which continuously searches for cadaveric skin conforming to Taiwanese regulations, still has other sources of cadaveric skin that can supply a total area of approximately 1,300,000 cm2 and will continually make purchases in order to ensure its sufficient supply. 

The FDA has already determined the medical supplies and needs for each hospital, and has set up a contact network in order to facilitate arrangements for needed medicines, medical equipment and other resources. Ad-hoc imports can be initiated at any time in order to ensure the sufficient supply of medication.
