【摘要】
疫病是人类生存一大威胁,特别是冠状病毒跨物种造成大感染影响甚巨,在严重特殊传染性肺炎(武汉肺炎)肆虐的当下,本文藉由档案研究,回顾了现代公卫措施实行以前之台湾传统医药疫况,让我们能更借镜过去、展望未来。考察文献发现,传统医药在一定程度上,与国家防疫行动有关,二战後才逐步退出舞台。在废医存药的背景下,汉方生药相关活动藉由药店存留。审视历史纪录与推行标准处方,或能有助推升中医材料进入官方临床准则,让更多方法辅助人群防疫。

【Summary】
The epidemic is a threat to human survival, especially the cross-species
spreading coronavirus caused a large infection. Now when COVID-19 (Wuhan
pneumonia) is raging, we can learn something from past experiences. This article
reviews the history of public health in Taiwan before World War II by archival
research. We found that traditional medicine was related to the national epidemic
prevention actions to a certain extent, and gradually withdrew from the stage
after WWII. Examining historical records and implementing standard traditional
medicine (TM) prescriptions, may help promote TM materials into the official
clinical guidelines and allow more methods to assist the population in epidemic
prevention.
