Goheung-gun Operates Respiratory Specialist Clinic

Respiratory Diseases, Receive Care Safely at Dedicated Clinics

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Goheung County (Governor Song Gwi-geun) announced on the 5th that it will open and operate an additional respiratory specialty clinic at Goheung General Hospital to alleviate the inconvenience of medical treatment for respiratory disease patients who had difficulty receiving general treatment due to the difficulty in distinguishing symptoms from COVID-19 infection.

The respiratory specialty clinic is a dedicated clinic established to protect the health of general patients and respiratory patients and to prevent the risk of cross-infection between medical staff and patients in advance. It is equipped with separate examination rooms, specimen rooms, and radiology rooms within the hospital and operates from around 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.

To minimize contact between visitors, the clinic operates by prior reservation via phone, and applicants must confirm through a preliminary medical questionnaire that there is no epidemiological link to COVID-19 before receiving treatment.

Goheung County has been operating a respiratory specialty clinic at Nokdong Hyundai Hospital since October last year, which has received great responses from residents.

A county official stated, “With the additional establishment of the respiratory specialty clinic (Goheung General Hospital), we will expand the medical service area to the northern and western regions, alleviating the inconvenience of medical treatment for Goheung residents and providing better medical services to respiratory patients.”
