“…This project has played a pivotal role in the treatment continuity and viral suppression policies. It differs from the HIV cohort study project in purpose and enrolled or covered patient numbers [ 4 21 22 23 24 28 29 30 31 ]. However, its outcomes also represent trustworthy data on the national HIV treatment status.…”

“…As a result of the aging of PLWH, the prevalence of chronic comorbidities is also increasing. There is a high incidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, weight gain, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular diseases, neurocognitive disorders, renal insufficiency, and cancer requiring counseling to modify lifestyle risk factors, such as smoking, drinking, and diet [ 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 ]. In 2021, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was the highest (n = 563, 22.1%) among 2,547 PLWH receiving care at eight healthcare facilities, followed by hypertension (n = 459, 18.0%), and diabetes mellitus (n = 237, 9.3%).…”

In 2005, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) launched “Health Care Facility Counseling Project on People Living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)” funded by the private-subsidy project for the prevention of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and sexually transmitted diseases to provide people living with HIV (PLWH) psychological support and counsel them about the disease and antiretroviral therapy (ART). Currently, 38 counseling nurse specialists work at 28 healthcare facilities for patient care. Of all PLWH in Korea, 71.9% received benefits from the Counseling Project. Adherence to ART medication (>95.0%), level of depression or anxiety, counseling coverage, and viral load status were monitored as common project indicators. Various specialized programs have been implemented in diverse facilities. This project has played a pivotal role in HIV care continuum and viral suppression policies, resulting in 95.9% of PLWH maintaining undetectable status (<40 copies/ml) in 2021. In this review, we present the chronology and fulfillment of this project, which will be an essential step for future planning in the context of aging and the chronic comorbid nature of HIV/AIDS.

“…3 Consequently, public health centers and medical institutions in Korean communities were instructed to incorporate Business Continuity Planning (BCP) to restore their routine work. 6 However, the disruption to business continuity in the wake of the infectious disease disaster/COVID-19 made it difficult for public health centers to move to the stage of recovery, while simultaneously maintaining routine work. 4 Generally, the structure of routine work at public health centers is highly dependent on progress on the tasks executed by projects and teams.…”

“…The outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome globally resulted in the suspension of core operations of healthcare institutions amid tremendous damage to organizations or countries. 6 The new infectious disease pandemic demonstrated that the management of patients with chronic diseases, or treatment plans for quarantined people were not clearly planned. Thus, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the BCP guidelines to help healthcare institutions respond quickly to emergencies such as infectious diseases, and efficiently return to their core business.…”

Objective This study aims to provide basic data for establishing strategies to maintain the core functions of health centers, and enable an effective response to emergency tasks in the event of future infectious disease disasters. Methods The participants were 41 workers from two public health centers in Seoul. They all had prior experience in responding to the early and middle stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions, and then analyzed using the deductive method of content analysis. Results The participants’ experiences during the infectious disease disaster crisis were examined through ten categories: governance and coordination, information management, human resources, essential medical supplies and equipment, infrastructure, administration, finance and logistics, community engagement and risk communication, delivery of essential services, security, and additional considerations for vulnerable populations. The analysis of the results made it apparent that new systems and policies were imperative for responding appropriately to the concerns and experiences of the public healthcare center staff, and for improving the response to future epidemics. Conclusion We found that to prepare for infectious disaster situations in the future, it is necessary for health centers to establish a mid- to long-term business continuity plan to ensure the continuation and stability of their operations. Additionally, it was found that health professionals in public health centers also believe in the necessity of education and training programs on disaster preparedness, based on Business Continuity Planning proposed by the World Health Organization. They deem these essential to sustain routine tasks for the management of the health of local community residents during outbreaks of novel infectious diseases in the future.
