The training was carried out as if it were real, assuming a situation where 10 patients with suspected food poisoning symptoms occurred after eating at a regular restaurant.

Participants included the Gimhae City Hygiene Division, Gimhae City Public Health Center Epidemiological Investigation Team, and Gyeongsangnam-do officials, focusing on each agency's on-site duties and response procedures.

The main training contents were ▲ occurrence and reporting of suspected food poisoning patients ▲ reporting and dissemination of food poisoning outbreak situations ▲ on-site dispatch of related agencies and operation of the food poisoning response council ▲ conducting food poisoning cause and epidemiological investigations ▲ post-food poisoning measures, etc.

A city official said, “This was an opportunity to enhance on-site food poisoning response capabilities,” adding, “We will continue to thoroughly manage food safety to create a safe dining environment where citizens can feel secure.”
