The
National Safe Hospital (Gukmin Anshim Hospital) Program has been adopted to
effectively control MERS infections within hospitals by providing care for
patients with respiratory diseases in secured areas. This program is expected
to reduce the public fear of contracting MERS-CoV, and minimize the
transmission of the virus in case of another outbreak.
On
June 12, 87 hospitals were designated as National Safe Hospitals by the Ministry
of Health and Welfare with another 74 being added as the result of a second
round of applications.
A
total of 161 hospitals, including 32 higher-grade general hospitals, 109
general hospitals and 20 smaller hospitals, will begin operating under the name
of “National Safe Hospitals” as early as June 15, once they secure isolated
areas and other necessary facilities.
