Gwangju City Urges Registration for '119 Safety Call' to Ensure Parents' Safety

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] The Gwangju Metropolitan Fire Safety Headquarters on the 20th actively urged registration for the ‘119 Safety Call’ service, which ensures the safety of parents in hometowns amid the atmosphere of refraining from visiting hometowns to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the Chuseok holiday.

The 119 Safety Call can be registered in advance through the website by entering address, disease information, guardian contact details, etc.

In case of an emergency, when a 119 call is made from the registered mobile phone, the pre-registered information is automatically displayed on the 119 comprehensive situation room system, enabling quick dispatch of the 119 ambulance team and customized emergency treatment.

This service is literally a ‘safety’ service that immediately notifies the registered guardian contact of the patient’s transport status as soon as the patient is transferred to the hospital.

Lee Jeong-ja, head of the city’s Rescue and Emergency Department, said, “119 Safety Call is a service like ‘insurance’ that anyone can pre-register regardless of disease status and use effectively in emergencies,” adding, “If you are worried because you cannot visit your hometown due to COVID-19, just registering for the 119 Safety Call will be a great filial gift.”
