尽管在控制方面取得了重大进展，但传染病仍然是中国发病和死亡的主要原因。由于其人口规模，中国是全球传染病负担的主要贡献者。中国通过旅行和贸易与世界其他地区建立联系，这意味着该国发生的事件可能会影响遥远的人们。中国人与动物的生态互动有利于新的微生物威胁的出现。公共卫生系统必须做好准备应对新出现的传染病的挑战，同时努力控制现有疾病。为了应对严重急性呼吸系统综合症等微生物威胁，政府投入了大量资源来实施新战略，包括开发实时监测系统作为传染病监测的一部分。该战略可以作为全球监测和应对传染病威胁的模型。
Infectious diseases remain the major causes of morbidity and mortality in China despite substantial progress in their control. China is a major contributor to the worldwide infectious disease burden because of its population size. The association of China with the rest of the world through travel and trade means that events in the country can affect distant populations. The ecological interaction of people with animals in China favours the emergence of new microbial threats. The public-health system has to be prepared to deal with the challenges of newly emerging infectious diseases and at the same time try to control existing diseases. To address the microbial threats, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, the government has committed substantial resources to the implementation of new strategies, including the development of a real-time monitoring system as part of the infectious-disease surveillance. This strategy can serve as a model for worldwide surveillance and response to threats from infectious diseases.
