Infectious Disease Response Research Outcomes Demonstration Expo Held on 24-25

The Ministry of Health and Welfare, together with eight other ministries including the Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency, will jointly hold the 2023 Government-wide Infectious Disease Control Foundation (GFID) Demonstration Expo at the Chungbuk C&V Center from the 24th to the 25th. GFID was established in April 2018 with the goal of strengthening the linkage between the national quarantine system and infectious disease research and development (R&D).

At this expo, there will be an on-site demonstration hall where visitors can experience infectious disease response research outcomes, including the introduction of infectious disease blocking technologies such as quarantine tunnels and baggage disinfection devices, as well as a promotional exhibition hall showcasing R&D products integrated with quarantine technologies.

Additionally, through an academic conference, the current status and research outcomes of demonstration studies conducted under the ‘Infectious Disease Medical Safety Enhancement Technology Development Project’ will be introduced, and the achievements of R&D projects aimed at advancing the government-wide infectious disease quarantine system will be shared.

The expo is free to attend. A Ministry of Health and Welfare official stated, “This demonstration expo will be a meaningful opportunity to promote K-quarantine research achievements to the public through on-site demonstration research and presentations of various research outcomes derived from national R&D projects.”
