    Document: This large and complex outbreak, which arose in crowded hospitals within metropolitan cities, exposed several problems with the Korean healthcare system, including emergency preparedness and response systems by the government, as well as infection prevention and control measures in hospitals. To prevent recurrence of a similar situation, we should not only seek to improve and strengthen such systems and measures, but also to develop trained experts and proper facilities.
