Operation of Respiratory Specialist Clinic in Gangbuk-gu

Respiratory Specialist Clinic Opens February 1 at Gangbuk-gu Health Center Samgaksan Branch... Operates 9 AM to 6 PM by Appointment Only

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangbuk-gu (Mayor Park Kyumsu) is opening a respiratory specialty clinic to treat patients with respiratory and fever symptoms who are difficult to distinguish from COVID-19 patients.

The purpose is to prevent confusion in diagnosis and treatment and to create a safe medical environment free from infection.

The respiratory specialty clinic will be established at the Samgaksan branch of the Gangbuk-gu Public Health Center starting February 1. The clinic, created by remodeling the first-floor examination room, has been reorganized to separate the flow of respiratory and fever patients from that of general residents using the branch.

The district will implement a reservation system to minimize contact between visitors.

Residents who wish to use the clinic can make a reservation by calling the Gangbuk-gu Public Health Center.

The clinic will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Applicants can receive treatment if it is confirmed through a medical questionnaire that there is no epidemiological link to COVID-19. The treatment fee will be applied the same as general medical care, and patients with severe or chronic respiratory diseases are excluded from the target group.

The district plans to additionally operate respiratory specialty clinics at other public health centers in the future.

Park Kyumsu, Mayor of Gangbuk-gu, said, “With the establishment of the respiratory specialty clinic, patients with respiratory and fever symptoms similar to COVID-19 can receive treatment with peace of mind,” and added, “We will do our best to build a safe medical system for both medical staff and visitors.”
