「健康人權教育網」在離島的應用與展望

The right to health is a fundamental human right. Health maintenance is a personal responsibility, and medical services should be made available for the treatment of all medical conditions. Aiming to build systems, localize strategies, and consistent operations, the Department of Health of the Executive Yuan (currently the Ministry of Health and Welfare) has operated offshore centers for community health building since 2000. Through ＂community angels＂ and the ＂Health and Human Rights Education Websites＂, the managers of all offshore centers for community health building can efficiently promote community health, manage early detection and intervention programs, and prevent various morbidity-related disabilities. The ＂Health and Human Rights Education Websites＂ functions pervasively, constantly, and economically among offshore island communities. Its content is updated regularly on the request of communities or our government authorities. By persistently promoting the website among offshore islands, the centers for community health building use this instrument to help communities manage personal health. Thus, this website is instrumental in helping the Department provide ＂consistent operations＂ to build and maintain community health in offshore islands. In the future, we plan to promote the ＂Health and Human Rights Education Websites＂ country-wide over the Internet in order to assure health equity in Taiwan.
