[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 3rd that it will operate an emergency medical system from the 11th to the 14th during the Seollal holiday period to ensure that citizens can spend the Seollal holiday healthily and safely.

The city has prepared a 'Seollal Holiday Emergency Medical Measures' to inspect and manage the emergency medical system during the holiday, and to provide treatment and transport for general and emergency patients.

This Seollal holiday emergency medical plan involves 93 institutions, including 42 Jeongeup public health centers, 25 medical institutions such as Jeongeup Asan Hospital, and 26 pharmacies.

In particular, Asan Hospital, a regional emergency medical center, will maintain an emergency medical system to provide 24-hour emergency patient treatment during the holiday period.

Also, 42 public health centers and 25 medical institutions will provide emergency medical services on designated duty days, and 26 holiday-duty pharmacies will be designated and operated to minimize inconvenience to citizens.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure rapid response, the public health center screening clinics will operate normally from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Jeongeup Asan Hospital will operate 24 hours.

Additionally, an emergency medical situation room will be organized at the public health center to guide citizens on duty medical institutions and holiday-duty pharmacies, and to supervise and inspect their operation to ensure emergency medical services proceed without disruption.

Information on emergency medical institutions and holiday-duty pharmacies can be obtained through Jeongeup Public Health Center, the Health and Welfare Call Center 129, the Emergency Medical Information Center, the 119 Ambulance Situation Management Center, and the Jeongeup City Hall website.

A city official said, “We will do our best to maintain the emergency medical system during the holiday period to prevent any gaps in emergency medical care for citizens,” and added, “We hope everyone checks the holiday-duty pharmacies and medical institutions in advance and has a healthy and happy holiday.”
