[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] Amidst strong wind and rain, emergency patients including a suspected stroke patient occurred one after another in an island village in Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, and the Mokpo Coast Guard carried out emergency transport.

According to the Mokpo Maritime Police Station (Chief Im Jae-su) on the 1st, at 6:52 PM on the 30th of last month, a man in his 70s, Mr. A, visited a hospital in Bigeumdo, Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, showing stroke symptoms and received emergency treatment, but since his condition did not improve, a report was received that transport to a large hospital was necessary.

The Coast Guard dispatched the Sinan Police Substation coastal rescue boat, and at around 7:17 PM, additionally received a transport report of an emergency patient with urolithiasis, Mr. B, in his 50s, from the same area.

Upon arrival at the scene, the Coast Guard boarded the two patients and their guardians, and despite the severe stormy weather, began transport and safely arrived at Namgang Pier, Amtaedo, Sinan-gun at 8:24 PM, handing them over to the waiting 119 ambulance team.

With the help of the Coast Guard, both Mr. A and Mr. B were urgently transported together and moved to a hospital in Mokpo, where they are currently receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, this year, the Mokpo Coast Guard has protected the precious lives and property of the people by transporting 71 emergency patients occurring in the assigned island areas and at sea using patrol vessels and others.
