[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Gachon University Gil Medical Center has received the highest grade, 'A grade,' in this year's emergency medical institution evaluation.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare conducts an annual evaluation of regional emergency medical institutions nationwide, assessing facilities, equipment, personnel, work content, and outcomes across 7 areas and over 40 indicators. The 2020 evaluation is based on services provided from July last year to January this year.

Gil Medical Center ranked among the top nationwide in multiple indicators such as length of stay for severe patients, responsible treatment, sharing rate, and provision of final treatment, receiving an overall score of 94.7 points and an A grade.

As the West Sea Regional Emergency Medical Center, Gil Medical Center simultaneously operates a regional trauma center and doctor helicopter services. Especially during the COVID-19 situation, it has been fulfilling its role responsibly as a regional emergency medical center by conducting screening clinics to prevent infectious disease spread and treating general emergency patients.

Previously, Gil Medical Center also received a first-grade rating in the intensive care treatment appropriateness evaluation and medical quality evaluation announced by the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service.

Hospital Director Kim Yang-woo stated, "As the capabilities of medical institutions in emergency medical care and treatment of severe patients are more important than ever, we will do our best to maintain a medical environment that local patients can trust."
