[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Sim Kyung-taek] A pregnant woman in her 30s living on Geumo Island, Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, had her water break and was urgently transported to the mainland by the Yeosu Coast Guard.

According to the Yeosu Coast Guard, at around 1:09 a.m. on the 1st, a report was received from the husband of a Nepalese pregnant woman in her 30s, Ms. A, stating that labor had started and her water had broken, indicating that childbirth was imminent on Geumo Island, Nam-myeon, Yeosu City.

Upon receiving the report, the Coast Guard dispatched a coastal rescue boat and arrived at Songgo Port on Geumo Island in about 20 minutes. They checked the pregnant woman’s health condition and handed her over to the 119 ambulance team waiting at Dolsan Gunnae Port, who then transported her to a nearby hospital.

Ms. A was transferred to an obstetrics specialty hospital, where she gave birth to a healthy daughter. Both the baby and mother were confirmed to be in good health.

A Yeosu Coast Guard official stated, “Since transportation options from island areas to the mainland are limited late at night, we will do our best to respond quickly to emergencies involving island residents to protect precious lives.”
