Objective Accidental public health emergencies occurred frequently all over the world in the last decade. The problem of how to set up an effective system for prevention and control of infectious diseases has aroused the attention of all the nations worldwide. The present paper discussed the contributions of the clinical laboratory in hospital during public health emergencies by collecting samples, establishing and applying a rapid diagnosis platform for infectious pathogens, ensuring laboratory biosafety, and developing a strategy in case of emergency.
