Abstract

|
|
Objectives: In spite of the importance of preparing a support system for public health programs, there
is a relatively poor system to support Oriental medicine public health programs. In this regard, considerations
have been made to give directions for the development of technical support organizations for Oriental
medicine public health programs.
Methods: The authors investigated support organizations of public health programs and compared Oriental
medicine public health programs with them.
Results: Technical support organizations for Oriental medicine public health programs are controlled by
the National Traditional Korean Medicine Research and Development Center. However there is lack in the
relevant budget, technical support, professional abilities for research and planning, connections with research
institutes in the Oriental medicine field, and affiliations with the other public health programs.
Conclusion: In this context, the following actions are required to systematically and technologically
support Oriental medicine public health programs. Health improvement & technical support organizations
whose incorporation is promoted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, should include the National
Traditional Korean Medicine Research and Development Center, so as to activate the Oriental medicine
public health programs. Legal provisions and the budget for the Oriental medicine public health programs
should be secured so as to help identify and implement effective programs for improving the community
health. A society for public health oriental medicine need be established so as to consolidate research capacities for the Oriental medicine public health programs. Programs should be developed to train
professionals and supports should be intensified for activities to build capacities in technical support
organizations.
