Malaria and poliomyelitis were eradicated from Taiwan years ago. What's more, in the 1980s the ROC government was the first to provide free hepatitis B vaccinations, which resulted in a tremendous drop in the number of children who suffer from it. Few countries in the world can claim to have been so successful.
在流行病防治方面，瘧疾、小兒麻痺已在台灣根除多年，此外，台灣在一九八○年代率先對孩童免費施打 B 型肝炎疫苗，使得孩童帶原比例大幅降低，也是世界少有的成就。
