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.
