“…Health-EDRM is a continuum of measures in which the emphasis is on managing the risks of the potential emergency or disaster, not solely responding to the event or crisis, and on building the resilience of communities and countries. To reduce the probability of events or problems and minimize health consequences, the program is established with the broad engagement of the health system and multiple sectors and a strong community focus from a natural, biological, technological, and sociological perspective [3].

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the Republic of Korea’s Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health-EDRM). This study aims to examine the Republic of Korea’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on Health-EDRM, especially human resources, health services, and logistics. Challenges in the Republic of Korea, including lack of medical workforce, confused risk communication, shortage of hospital beds, and inefficient distribution of medical resources, have been highlighted in this paper in terms of human resources, health service delivery, and logistics, which are components of Health-EDRM. It is essential to address the cooperation between the government and private sectors, the protection of occupational health and safety of medical staff during the pandemic, and strategies and technologies to scale up the health facilities, to respond to a future crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic.
