UpdateTime 2023/3/17

In recent years, with dramatic increases in international exchange and travel and the number of foreign laborers, various communicable diseases have been imported. Facing the threat of emerging diseases and the recurrence of indigenous communicable diseases, the existing policies on disease prevention, quarantine, and surveillance, and the capabilities of laboratory testing and research are considered inadequate to meet the needs of disease control. In coordination with the rapid development in high technology and the trend of internationalization, disease control must be more comprehensive, prompt, effective and international. The goal of the Centers for Disease Control, therefore, is to combat the threat of communicable diseases.

Vision:

Disease prevention should be regarded as a battle. Unity, professionalism and action are the keys to success.

Principles:

Flexibility in Disease Control

Disease control measures will stay flexible to cope with disease outbreaks at any time ; to develop capability in crisis management ; to actively collect domestic and international disease information ; to stay alert at all time; and to promptly handle disease outbreaks.

Information-based Strategies

A complete information network including a reporting system for notification of disease outbreaks, a reporting system for syndromes, a geographic information system for communicable diseases, an on-line disease surveillance system, and an information system on immunization will be set up for better coordination. Disease control organization will have immediate on-line access to necessary information for more effective and prompt disease control.

Professionalization

Efforts will be made to recruit experts, encourage research, and apply scientific methods to disease control. Control measures will stay transparent and objective. Disease control manpower will be developed and professionals recruited to upgrade the professionalism of our disease control team.

Involvement of All People

Communicable diseases are preventable through various approaches. The effective control of outbreaks and transmission of communicable diseases, however, depends greatly on the public's understanding of communicable diseases and their prevention measures. Disease control requires the full participation and cooperation of all people.

Internationalization

The Center will continue to actively promote participation in international disease control activities, and to establish close communication and cooperation with all countries in the world. Disease prevention will be used as a channel to facilitate the entry of Taiwan into the World Health Organization as a member
