台灣面臨超高齡社會及慢性病與心理健康挑戰,現行公衛服務體系需進行改革以應對需求。
面對超高齡社會、慢性病及心理健康等挑戰,公共衛生服務如何深入民眾生活?台北市公衛師公會今天倡議推動「公共衛生服務法」立法,明定政府公衛服務責任,並完善公衛師的專業定位與人力配置,讓公衛師能依需求投入社區、職場、校園等場域,強化健康促進與風險預防。
台北市公衛師公會與國民健康署今天在成功大學共同舉辦「健康台灣政策下的公衛治理:面對國民健康新挑戰」論壇,行政院政務委員陳時中、國健署署長沈靜芬及地方衛生機關、學界代表與會,從長照、健保資源、心理健康及環境醫學等面向,討論公衛服務體系改革方向。
台北市公衛師公會理事長翁瑞宏指出,健康台灣除了提升醫療服務,也必須建立健全的公衛服務制度,讓預防與健康促進成為持續運作的公共服務。「公共衛生服務法」立法與公衛師制度應相互銜接,前者著重政府責任與服務架構,後者則涉及專業職能、制度定位及人力配置。
與會代表指出,偏鄉、原鄉、離島及高齡社區面臨的健康風險與資源限制各不相同,公衛服務應依地方健康需求及實際任務,建立適切的專業分工與資源協調機制。公衛師可參與健康風險評估、群體健康管理、健康促進及危害防制,協助整合跨單位資源,強化從風險辨識到預防介入的服務鏈結。
論壇提出三大行動共識,首先是推動健康融入所有政策與健康平權,整合人類動物及環境健康觀點,透過跨部門合作,改善影響健康的社會與環境因素,縮小不同族群間的健康差距。
其次是健全公衛服務制度與法制,倡議推動「公共衛生服務法」,明確界定政府責任,建立回應地方需求的服務體系及資源配置機制;第三則是深化多元場域的風險治理與預防行動,完善公衛師專業職能及人力配置,強化群體健康管理。
公會表示,將彙整論壇意見與行動共識,形成具體政策建言,送交衛福部及相關部會,持續推動公衛服務制度與專業人力配置的完善。
