全球化下臺灣新興傳染病防治對策【本期企劃】 試閱
Prevention Strategies Against Emerging Infectious Disease in Taiwan under Globalization
近年來新興傳染病跨地域傳播速度快速，儼然成為國際間關注與重視的議題，其防治亟需全球共同努力，臺灣亦無例外，應預先作足各項應變整備工作，充實防疫量能，以因應相關威脅與挑戰。由於2003年的SARS疫情為臺灣公共衛生及醫療體系帶來極大的衝擊，促使主管機關及相關部門徹底檢視防疫體系及政策，建立指揮體系及訂定防治對策，故於2014年面對西非伊波拉病毒感染疫情及2015年南韓中東呼吸症候群冠狀病毒感染症疫情時，皆能在短時間內啟動應變整備策略與作為，成功遏止疾病傳入，確保臺灣防疫安全。
In recent years, emerging infectious disease (EID) surely has drawn international attention because EID spreads rapidly without geographic range limit. Prevention and control of EID requires the global efforts, and Taiwan has no exceptions. We should strengthen EID preparedness and response in advance, and improve capacity to respond to the threats and challenges. The SARS outbreak in 2003 had a huge impact on public health and medical care systems. In view of this, the government re-evaluated national policies for the prevention and control of EID. Besides we established incident command system and developed strategies against EIDs. Therefore, Taiwan responded strategies immediately to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa in 2014 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in South Korea in 2015, which it successfully prevented the diseases and ensured domestic health security.
