Miryang City Supports Operation of Respiratory Dedicated Clinic at Miryang Hospital

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that starting from the 1st of next month, Miryang Hospital will operate a dedicated respiratory clinic during outpatient hours to address the limitations in treating respiratory and fever patients caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Miryang Hospital, supported by the government, will provide treatment by appointment from Monday to Saturday during outpatient hours. Upon patient arrival, the process from consultation to testing is conducted in a one-stop manner, enhancing convenience and reducing the risk of cross-infection between patients or between patients and medical staff.

The hospital has a separate safe space equipped with negative pressure facilities to treat patients with respiratory and fever symptoms that are difficult to distinguish from COVID-19.

A Miryang City official stated, “The operation of the dedicated respiratory clinic minimizes the treatment gap for patients with fever and respiratory symptoms, allowing for safer and more in-depth care,” and added, “Even a small suspicion of respiratory symptoms among citizens can help prevent COVID-19 and stop its spread,” urging active medical consultation.
