The outbreak of enterovirus epidemic in Taiwan in 1998 exposed the inadequacy of virology laboratories in Taiwan in both quality and quantity. Thus the Department of Health (DOH) has been setting up virology contracted laboratories across Taiwan since March 1999. Aside from providing subsidies to the contracted laboratories, DOH put forth great efforts in improving Taiwan’s viral testing abilities and cultivation of talents. Currently, contracted laboratories are playing an important role in the testing of enterovirus and influenza virus in all areas across the country. The proactive detection system formed by the contracted laboratories and their specimen collecting sites provide good and timely laboratory diagnosis services. This system is an implementation of a tiered system for viral testing at the central and local levels which could improve the rate and timeliness of disease detection. |
