Private hospitals conduct tests through their own laboratories or contract testing institutions, while public institutions such as health and environment research institutes perform tests for infectious diseases that cannot be tested in the private sector.
This image explains the step-by-step system for performing infectious disease testing through cooperation between the public and private sectors.

- Level 1: Local
- Level 2: District
- Level 3: National
Public Sector (Top-down)
1. Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA, Level 3)
- Receives test requests, performs education and management.
- Coordinates with regional disease response centers (test requests, education, management).
2. Regional Disease Response Centers (Level 3)
- Cooperates with the KDCA and transmits test requests to quarantine stations when necessary.
3. Quarantine Stations (Level 2)
- Performs test requests at borders, ports, and airports, and reports to higher authorities.
4. Provincial and Metropolitan Health and Environmental Research Institutes (PHERI, Level 2)
- Handles test requests and performs educational functions.
5. Public Health Centers (Level 1)
- Receives test requests and reports at the community level.
Private Sector (Hospitals and Testing Centers, Level 1)
- Hospitals and testing centers (private referral laboratories) collaborate to handle test requests and check results.
- If necessary, test requests are transmitted to public health centers or higher authorities.
Emergency Situation
- Test requests may be directly transmitted to the KDCA in case of an emergency.
Summary Interpretation
The testing system is structured in levels: Local (Level 1) → District (Level 2) → National (Level 3).
The public (public health centers, research institutes, KDCA) and private sectors (hospitals, testing centers) cooperate to conduct infectious disease testing.
