East Asia, civilization and culture Public health Cold War Epidemics 20th century, early Republic of China (1912-1949) Taiwan

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Taiwan remet sur pied les infrastructures de santé publique fortement endommagées, grâce à l’aide des États-Unis et de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé. La reconstruction de la santé publique à Taiwan dans les années cinquante bénéficie de l’expérience acquise pendant la guerre sino-japonaise dans le domaine de la médecine militaire et de la prévention contre les épidémies. Cet article établit le lien entre la reconstruction de la santé publique dans le Taiwan des années cinquante et les travaux de santé publique menés antérieurement par le gouvernement nationaliste en période de guerre, en même temps qu’il révèle l’importance de l’influence politique de la guerre froide en Asie orientale., Post-WWII Taiwan fast recovered its public health infrastructure from war damage due to aids from US and World Health Organization. Beside a long history between the Nationalist government and American aids since the 1930s, the reconstruction of public health in 1950s Taiwan shared experience of military medical works and epidemic prevention during the Sino-Japanese War. The article aims to survey the linkage between the reconstruction of public health in 1950s Taiwan and previous sanitary works of Nationalist government in wartime period, revealing possible influence of Cold War politics in East Asia., 二次世界大戰後的臺灣，由於美援與世界衛生組織(WHO)的協助，快速地從戰火破壞中重建公共衛生秩序。然而，1950 年代的公共衛生秩序重建，除了國民政府自1930 年代以來即致力與美援維持關係外，也隱約繼承著中日抗戰時期，國民政府戰地衛生勤務與防疫經驗延續的淵源。本文以國府在戰爭時期—抗日戰爭與國共內戰，所累積之防疫工作與戰地衛生勤務經驗為經緯，探討1930年代到50年代國府如何在美國醫藥援助下，恢復臺灣地區公共衛生秩序的過程，並因此展開冷戰時期東亞國際防疫網與臺灣衛生工作之連結。全文討論始於1933年日軍入侵華北，國府將防疫工作與衛生訓練寓於戰地醫護之中，而分析終於1950年代國府退守臺灣後，如何以局部恢復之戰時衛生經驗，將臺灣重置於東亞之國際防疫網中，並據此再次取得美國的援助及外交上的支持。
