  1. Taiwan Tuberculosis Symposium Nov.30-Dec.1, 2005 Taipei International Convention Center

  2. Welcome Address Dear Colleagues, We warmly welcome you to the Taiwan Tuberculosis Symposium. We are all gathered here to address new scientific data and research results on the tuberculosis control and also aim to increase the public awareness. The topics in this symposium include: tuberculosis epidemiology, laboratory diagnosis, nosocomial infection control and stigma and solution of tuberculosis infection in aboriginal areas in Taiwan. Tuberculosis causes 2 million deaths and unquantifiable suffering each year, despite the fact that proven, cost-effective treatments have been available for decades. Over 10 years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared TB a global health emergency. It is still an emergency today. Tuberculosis, the statutory infectious disease with most cases in Taiwan, not only threatens people's health but influences our national image and competitiveness. Besides, due to flourishing tourism and frequent international dealings, epidemic prevention and control become a real challenge. An important issue on the research of tuberculosis, with all the blessings and efforts, actively break through the bottleneck and improve the public health. Sharing information and experiences with colleagues will enable us to learn from one another, strengthen cooperation, promote research and move forward to control of tuberculosis in Taiwan.
