Figure 1. — Tiered structure of the national laboratory system of public health in Taiwan. Laboratories are distributed into 3 tiers (national, regional, and district levels). Commissioned laboratories help diagnose viral and bacterial (tuberculosis) diseases in the community, collect viral and bacterial isolates, and send these isolates to national laboratories at TCDC for pathogen surveillance. Designated and authorized laboratories help diagnose notifiable diseases. National laboratories at TCDC and designated laboratories have BSL-3 facilities for conducting high-risk pathogen diagnosis.
