Five influenza pandemics had occurred during the past century (1918 "Spanish flu" , 1957 "Asian flu" , 1968 "Hong Kong flu" , 1977 "Russian flu" and 2009 H1N1 Pandemic), accounting for hundreds of millions of people infected and tens of millions dead. China was influenced by all the five pandemics, and three of them (1957 "Asian flu" , 1968 "Hong Kong flu" and 1977 "Russian flu" ) were originated from China. The pandemics triggered the establishment of public health agencies and influenza surveillance capacities. In addition, more resources were allocated to influenza-related research, prevention and control. As a leader in the field of influenza, China should further strengthen its pandemic preparedness and response to contribute to global health.
在过去的一个世纪里发生了五次流感大流行(1918年“西班牙流感”、1957年“亚洲流感”、1968年“香港流感”、1977年“俄罗斯流感”和2009年甲型H1N1流感大流行),造成数亿人感染,数千万人死亡。中国受到了所有这五次大流行的影响,其中三次(1957年“亚洲流感”、1968年“香港流感”和1977年“俄罗斯流感”)起源于中国。这些大流行促使公共卫生机构的建立和流感监测能力的提升。此外,更多资源被分配到与流感相关的研究、预防和控制工作中。作为流感领域的领导者,中国应进一步加强其大流行防范和应对能力,为全球健康做出贡献。
