Abstract
Both SARS and H5N2 avian influenza are terrible infectious diseases. SARS is a national and worldwide disaster. Although SARS caused deaths less than those caused by AIDS, it is more terrible than AIDS. H5N2 influenza could be present at anytime, the subsequent effects of its attack is unknown. Both SARS and H5N2 influenza are related to animals.
Infection control is like a war, infectious disease can ruin a whole world if we are not careful. It is a serious and important issue to prepare structures and procedures for infection control before it attacks. Health issue should not be manipulated by political methods. It is important to make risk analysis for infectious diseases outbreak and educate people through media and expertise conference, to make an international communication about infectious disasters, to construct an appropriate relationship with congress and local council.
A special team should be set up for infection control. It is important to educate and train the group regularly, to update the rules for infection control, to discuss and modify the standard procedures for the execution of the procedures of infection control, and to set a communication mechanism between different ministries. Facing the interference of Mainland China we are difficult to construct relationship with the World Health Organization. We still have confidence. Team work and cooperation is a key factor for the success of infection control.
