Abstract

The purpose of this study is to make suggestions for the infectious disease surveillance systems as part of the government's healthcare policy intended to minimize damage by implementing an appropriate and swift crisis management in the event of future infectious disease outbreaks. To that end, this descriptive study analyzes the infectious disease outbreaks and the management and control thereof in Korea and other countries, so as to suggest some approaches to infectious disease surveillance systems applicable to affected regions. The analysis results shed light on the causes of the spread of future infectious diseases over the past years, and the management systems that could possibly deal with the trial and error in the response policy. It seems crucial to roll out appropriate information, training and promotion programs as part of the national disaster response systems to prevent infectious diseases in relation to the roles of multiple relevant government agencies in the event of disasters especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

본 연구의 목적은 미래감염병 발생 시 적합하고 신속한 위기관리체계를 수행으로 인한 피해경감을 최소화할 수 있는 정부의 보건의료정책을 마련하기 위한 감염병 감시체계 방안의 모색하는 것이다. 연구의 방법으로는 국내외 감염병 발생과 관리현황을 분석하고, 재난피해 지역에 대한 감염병 감시체계방안을 제시하기 위한 기술적 연구를 하는 것이다. 본 연구를 통해 과거 미래감염병의 사회적 확산에 대해서 원인과 그 대응정책의 시행착오 등에 대해 보다 명확한 관리체계를 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 대유행하고 있는 코로나바이러스감염증-19 확산사태를 지켜보면서 국내 재난대응체계에서는 재난 발생시 참여하게 되는 여러 기관의 역할과 관련된 감염병 예방을 위한 교육 및 훈련과 홍보가 매우 중요할 것으로 본다.
