[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 6th at 2 p.m., Rep. Yoon So-ha (Floor Leader of the Justice Party) visited the National Mokpo Hospital to inspect the inpatient facilities in preparation for the outbreak of the novel coronavirus and held an emergency on-site meeting to listen to the difficulties faced by frontline medical staff.

This meeting was conducted as a follow-up to the "Emergency Meeting to Block Community Transmission of the Novel Coronavirus and Listen to On-site Difficulties," held on the 4th at Mokpo Korean Hospital.

Rep. Yoon So-ha stated, "Since a patient has been confirmed in Gwangju, it is difficult to guarantee safety in Jeollanam-do and Mokpo as well. Especially in the southwestern region of Jeollanam-do, which lacks advanced general hospitals such as university hospitals, if a patient occurs, they must be admitted in isolation at National Mokpo Hospital or transferred to a university hospital located in Gwangju. I came to check the facilities of National Mokpo Hospital, which plays an important role, and to listen to the difficulties of medical staff and employees," explaining the purpose of the meeting.

During the meeting, concerns were raised about the shortage of medical personnel in case multiple patients with novel coronavirus syndrome occur simultaneously.

Additionally, continuous communication and cooperation were agreed upon regarding the ongoing issue of establishing a Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Center at National Mokpo Hospital.

Rep. Yoon So-ha said, "I will actively raise the difficulties faced by frontline medical sites, which were discussed in two meetings, at the February extraordinary session," and added, "Regarding the issue of establishing the Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis Center, together with Justice Party Jeollanam-do Assembly members Lee Bo-ra-mi and Choi Hyun-joo, and Mokpo City Council member Baek Dong-gyu who attended the meeting, we will build a support cooperation system to secure necessary support from Mokpo City, Jeollanam-do, and the central government and seek a smooth resolution."
