最近,由于新出现和重新出现的传染病、大流行病的新周期以及生物恐怖主义的威胁,全球卫生和全球卫生监测的重要性得到了前所未有的承认。本综述的目的是提供全球化世界中健康监测知识现状的最新情况。本次审查将强调三个关键领域:1)新的《国际卫生条例》的作用,2)新的监测和生物恐怖主义全球卫生网络的出现,以及3)全球监测收集、传播和干预措施指南的重塑。还讨论了全球卫生监测的更重要挑战。新的《国际卫生条例》的重要变化以及新的全球疾病监测和生物恐怖主义网络的迅速发展,重塑了全球监测。这些网络首次在全球范围内提供有关新出现和重新出现的传染病可能爆发和流行的实时信息。最近爆发的严重急性呼吸系统综合症(萨斯)和甲型(H1N1)流感大流行证明了新的全球监测的好处,也证明了世界卫生组织在全球公共卫生界的多边反应中发挥协调作用的重要性。
Recently, global health and global health surveillance have received unprecedented recognition of their importance because of the newly emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, new cycles of pandemics, and the threats of bioterrorism. The aim of this review is to provide an update of the current state of knowledge on health surveillance in a globalized world. Three key areas will be highlighted in this review: 1) the role of the new International Health Regulations, 2) the emergence of new global health networks for surveillance and bioterrorism, and 3) the reshaping of guidelines for the collection, dissemination, and interventions in global surveillance. A discussion is also presented of the more important challenges of global health surveillance. Global surveillance has been reshaped by important changes in the new International Health Regulations and the rapid development of new global networks for disease surveillance and bioterrorism. These networks provide for the first time at the global scale real-time information about potential outbreaks and epidemics of newly emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. The recent outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic provide evidence of the benefits of the new global monitoring and of the importance of the World Health Organization in its coordinating role in the multilateral response of the global public health community.
