Communicable diseases were rampant in old China. Since the new China was founded, the Government has assigned high priority to the prevention of infectious diseases. A series of measures were adopted, such as instituting health policies in the vein of "Prevention First" as well as health laws and regulations, coordinating department participation and setting up the network of prevention and control of diseases. The incidence of leading infectious diseases has declined dramatically. Although great success has been achieved, infectious diseases still form one of the major public health problems in China. There are some existing problems which hinder the progress of infectious disease control. This situation is being addressed by the government and the slogan "Health for All in 2000" has become the focus of the nation.
在旧中国，传染病肆虐。新中国成立后，政府高度重视传染病预防工作。采取了一系列措施，如制定“预防为主”的卫生政策以及卫生法律法规，协调部门参与并建立疾病预防控制网络。主要传染病的发病率大幅下降。尽管取得了巨大成功，但传染病仍是中国主要的公共卫生问题之一。存在一些阻碍传染病控制进展的问题。政府正在解决这一情况，“2000年人人享有健康”的口号已成为国家关注的焦点。
