Since Taiwan CDC was reorganized in July 1999, the National Communicable Disease Surveillance Systems have been taken responsibility for surveillance of infectious diseases in Taiwan. They began with surveillance of notifiable diseases and sentinel surveillance to detect epidemics. Later on, several systems were built to collect timely, complete and precise information on infectious diseases. The vision of these systems are to monitor the nation’s health status and to detect outbreaks rapidly by integrating various infectious disease surveillance networks, and their missions are to: (1) Construct diversifi ed disease surveillance systems; (2) Collect and monitor data for disease trend analysis, prediction and alert; (3) Provide analysis and assessment of global and indigenous infectious diseases regularly. |
