Technological Policy Development of the Center for Disease Control, Department of Health The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is at the frontier of epidemic prevention and the pivot of national disease control work. In the face of the ever-emerging new diseases and re-emergence of existing diseases, the CDC cannot help but feel disempowered. Consolidating academic power to work around the flaws in disease prevention work becomes a pressing task. One of the first rules in the art of war is “know thy enemy.” We can only grasp the key or knack to disease prevention by deepening our understanding of diseases. The CDC will conduct problem-oriented studies on the most pressing problems according to the disease prevention needs by outsourcing or carrying out technological research on our own, in order to discover the possible key factors for solution; present research findings in the CDC’s disease prevention seminars at suitable time according to disease prevention needs. After the brainstorming of scholars and disease prevention experts, consensus will be reached to transform the research findings into supporting evidence for policies or disease prevention measures. Furthermore, policy review and evaluation is conducted after implementing the disease prevention measures for a while, to refine the prevention work and enhance administration efficiency. Research effort of CDC is planned and executed according to the following seven key issues: Epidemiological surveillance and investigation, prevention strategies and effectiveness assessment studies that reduce the incidence rate of such infectious diseases as tuberculosis, AIDS, hepatitis, dengue fever, enterovirus, influenza, SARS, etc. Studies relating to the reinforcement of surveillance and verification of biological warfare, new-bred infectious diseases, human/animal communicable diseases, and infectious diseases that come in from the mainland China and from imported laborers. Studies relating to the building of pathogenic and genetic database. Studies relating to the establishment of infectious disease reporting and 1 monitoring network. Studies relating to the assessment of immune response and vaccination effectiveness. Studies that correspond to the infectious disease prevention network, and that relate to the reinforcement of in-hospital disease control mechanism and the correlation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and in-hospital infectious diseases. Studies relating to enhancement of international medical and healthcare technology exchanges. 2
