[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 17th, Heo Seong-gon, mayor of Gimhae City, presented a plaque of appreciation to Kim Nam-hee (52), who saved the life of a citizen in a life-or-death crisis.

On the morning of April 26th around 9 a.m., Kim discovered a security guard unconscious and collapsed next to the lower side of an apartment while leaving her home and heading to work. She performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the guard while video calling 119 paramedics.

Kim’s prompt emergency response played a significant role in restoring the guard’s breathing and consciousness.

Kim said, “I just did what I was supposed to do,” and added, “I am glad that I was able to help save a precious life by applying the CPR training I received in advance while working at a daytime care center.”

Mayor Heo stated, “The righteous act of not ignoring a neighbor in critical condition helped ease the frozen social atmosphere caused by COVID-19,” and expressed hope that “such good deeds will spread and foster a society where people live together harmoniously.”
