[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Employees at the Sinjeong 4-dong Community Service Center in Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Soo-young) saved a precious life by promptly administering emergency measures to a resident who suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed during a civil complaint consultation.


On the 1st, Mr. A, a man in his 60s who visited the welfare team’s civil complaint desk to inquire about government disaster relief funds, suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed while consulting with an employee. Mr. A was in a very critical condition, even vomiting while collapsed. Recognizing the urgent situation, the civil complaint desk employee immediately called 119, and at the same time, nursing staff laid the resident down on a waiting room chair and turned his head to secure the airway, swiftly administering emergency treatment.


Thanks to the quick response of the community center staff, Mr. A regained consciousness and was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital by the arriving 119 emergency medical team for treatment.


The Sinjeong 4-dong Community Service Center continuously monitored Mr. A from the hospitalization process through the recovery stage to check on his condition. After being discharged, Mr. A expressed his gratitude, saying, “Just imagining what could have happened if I had collapsed outside the community center is terrifying,” and “I am truly thankful to the staff who responded quickly and calmly.”



Kim Hyun-geun, head of Sinjeong 4-dong, stated, “The most important thing in an emergency is that rescue measures are properly implemented within the golden time,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to ensure that necessary actions are taken promptly in all possible urgent situations that may occur in the district.”
