[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Amid the manpower shortages at screening clinics caused by the spread of COVID-19 infections, the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association (President Lee Tae-yeon) has voluntarily stepped up for medical volunteer work, drawing attention.

Maintaining a close cooperative relationship with Dongdaemun-gu (District Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol) to prevent community transmission of COVID-19, the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association has supported weekend shifts at the Dongdaemun-gu Public Health Center's screening clinic.

As community infections have prolonged and the public health center's screening clinic operates 24 hours a day, the physical exhaustion of the health center's medical staff has increased, raising concerns about manpower gaps. In this context, the manpower support from the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association has been a great help.

Thanks to this, the health center's medical staff have been able to rest and then return to work.

Jeon Jun-hee, the former director of Dongdaemun-gu Public Health Center, also rolled up his sleeves and joined the medical volunteer efforts.

In particular, on March 15, seven volunteers from the Dongdaemun-gu Medical Association worked in shifts to conduct large-scale testing of about 600 PC room users who had visited a confirmed case location, greatly assisting with specimen collection.

One doctor who participated in the medical volunteer work expressed gratitude to all Dongdaemun-gu staff actively responding to the COVID-19 situation and stated their commitment to take the lead in preventing and controlling the spread of COVID-19 as a local healthcare professional.

Yoo Deok-yeol, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, said, "I am grateful to all members of the Medical Association who voluntarily participated in medical care for residents during this crisis," and added, "The public and private sectors will cooperate to do their best to overcome this national disaster."
