进入９０年代以来，新的传染病不断出现；一些被控制的传染病死灰复燃；传染病传播的机会增加、速度加快、范围也在不断扩大。目前，我国传染病专科医院在诊断技术、方法、临床鉴别诊断能力、治疗、科研、教学内容与新形势不相适应。今后，政府和卫生管理部门应当树立“大卫生”的观念，对传染病专科医院给予适当的政策倾斜。卫生防疫部门和基层医疗单位要加强与传染病专科医院的交流与合作。传染病专科医院应在医疗工作中提高应变能力、急救能力、诊断能力、治疗能力和综合服务能力；要有超前意识，注意扬长避短；要加强规章制度建设、内部结构调整 Since the beginning of the 1990s, new infectious diseases have emerged; some controlled infectious diseases have resurfaced; the spread of infectious diseases has increased, speed has accelerated, and the scope has continued to expand. At present, China’s infectious disease specialist hospitals are incompatible with the new situation in terms of diagnostic techniques, methods, clinical differential diagnosis capabilities, treatment, research, and teaching content. In the future, the government and the health management department should establish the concept of “big health” and give appropriate policies to infectious diseases specialist hospitals. The health and epidemic prevention departments and grass-roots medical units must strengthen exchanges and cooperation with infectious disease specialist hospitals. Infectious diseases specialist hospitals should improve their ability to respond to emergencies, diagnoses, treatment and comprehensive services in medical work; they must have a sense of advancement and pay attention to avoiding weaknesses; they must strengthen the construction of rules and regulations and internal structural adjustment.
