19世纪新加坡防疫机制的建立

Establishment of Singapore's Epidemic Prevention Mechanism in the 19th Century

新加坡开埠后,随着贸易的繁荣和人口的增加,社会公共服务领域压力增大,尤其是在公共卫生领域,天花、麻风病、霍乱、性病等传染病流行,造成新加坡的死亡率远高于海峡殖民地其他地方。为此,殖民政府逐渐加强对公共卫生的治理,颁布实施了一系列条例,建立防疫机制,防控传染病,改善公共卫生环境。19世纪新加坡殖民政府建立的防疫机制客观上促进了当地公共卫生事业的进步,同时也为20世纪新加坡公共卫生事业发展奠定基础。

After Singapore opened its port,with the prosperity of trade and the increase in population,the pressure on the social and public service sector has increased,especially in the field of public health.Because of the poor sanitary environment and the spread of infectious diseases such as smallpox,cholera,leprosy,and sexually transmitted diseases,the mortality rate in Singapore is much higher than in other parts of the Straits colony.To this end,the colonial government gradually strengthened its governance of public health,promulgated and implemented a series of regulations,established epidemic prevention mechanisms,prevented and controlled infectious diseases,and improved the public health environment.The epidemic prevention mechanism established by Singapore's colonial government in the 19th century objectively promoted the progress of local public health,and also laid the foundation for Singapore's public health development in the 20th century.
