Abstract:
Since 2015, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency has entrusted the National Medical Center with a training project for specialized personnel to respond to emerging and bioterrorism-related infectious diseases. This project includes theoretical and practical training, such as basic training on infectious disease response and the donning and doffing of personal protective equipment for medical institution workers and first responders. The project aims to strengthen the capacity of healthcare workers to respond to emerging and bioterrorism-related infectious diseases. Through this training, trainees will be equipped to respond effectively to such diseases and take the lead in establishing response strategies.
