ER overcrowding seems to be a major issues these days.
Apparently, there are trial operations running for urgent care centers (UCCs):
A total of 169 patients were treated on the first day of an urgent care center (UCC) service that was launched Sunday in Taiwan’s six major cities, the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) said, citing data valid as of 4 p.m. that day.

According to Health Minister Shih Chung-liang (石崇良), around 80 percent of primary healthcare institutions across Taiwan remain open on Saturdays, but only about 20 percent operate on Sundays, which results in an influx of patients at hospital emergency rooms on weekends.

However, about 80 percent of patients in emergency rooms are usually not in critical condition and do not require hospitalization, Shih said, citing hospital data.
The effectiveness of the UCCs will be observed over the next few months before the nine-day Lunar New Year holiday in February 2026, he said, adding that the service will be expanded, depending on the data.
Sounds like those UCCs might be something useful. Otherwise, the ER is often the only option on a Sunday / holiday even for non-critical conditions…
