[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Cho) has designated the period from the 24th to the 27th, during the Lunar New Year holiday, as the "Lunar New Year Emergency Medical Care Period" and is implementing emergency medical measures for both emergency and general patients.

The district has designated and operates 41 on-duty medical institutions, including Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, and 65 holiday pharmacy keepers to minimize inconvenience to residents caused by medical service gaps.

Additionally, the Seocho-gu Public Health Center expects a small number of medical institutions to operate normally during the holiday and anticipates a high number of patients, so it will provide primary care (treatment for mild symptoms such as indigestion, stomach upset, minor digestive disorders, and early-stage colds) on the 26th from 9 AM to 6 PM.

Information on on-duty medical institutions and holiday pharmacy keepers during the Lunar New Year holiday can be found on the Seocho-gu (Public Health Center, District Office) website.

Residents can also contact the 119 Emergency Situation Management Center or call ☎2155-8001 (Public Health Center) during the day, or ☎2155-6100 (District Office Situation Room) at night for guidance at any time.
