漢生病政策與醫療人權【本期企劃】 試閱
The Policy for the Hansen’s Disease and the Medical Human Rights
漢生病舊稱「痲瘋病」,是一種古老的傳染病,因為國家受優生主義的影響,造成患者受到長期不當的隔離及社會歧視。臺灣於2008年通過漢生病患者人權保障和補償條例,雖然給予其等撫慰和補償,但尚未見到國家依該法積極宣導正確漢生病知識及推動有助回復漢生病患者名譽之社會教育政策等措施。
The Hansen’s disease, so-called “leprosy” in the past, is one of ancient infectious disease. The patients suffer unproper segregation and social discrimination for the reason of the eugenics. Act of Human Rights Protection and Compensation for Hansen’s Disease Patients has been legislated in 2008 in Taiwan. Even though there have had consolation and compensation, there are still no propagation of the knowledge for the Hansen’s disease and social educational policies of rehabilitation of the reputation for the Hansen’s disease patients.
