Abstract
Tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent diseases in North Korea. Despite some positive accomplishments by current aid projects, it is still necessary to investigate the existing aid system. The following are necessary for improvement: sustaining a high degree of expertise, cooperation among various related parties including the international community, mediation to induce this cooperation, a more active role of the South Korean government, and encouragement of North Korea to more actively participate. Achieving these will help solve the issues of current tuberculosis aid projects in North Korea and lead to more successful outcomes.
Summary
Korean summary
결핵은 북한의 주요 질병 중 하나이다. 기존 사업이 이루어낸 일부 긍정적인 성과에도 불구하고 북한 결핵사업의 문제들을 해결하고 성공적인 성과를 거두기 위해서는 기존 지원체계에 대한 반성과 함께 고도 전문성의 지속유지, 국제사회를 포함한 다양한 관련자들간의 협력, 이러한 협력을 이끌어낼 수 있는 조정능력, 남한정부의 보다 적극적인 역할, 북한 당사자의 참여유도가 필요하다.
