[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 15th that it has established an emergency medical response plan to prepare for emergency patients and medical service gaps during the Chuseok holiday period from the 18th to the 22nd.

To minimize inconvenience to residents in case of emergency patients during the Chuseok holiday, 99 medical institutions and pharmacies within the county (46 hospitals and clinics, 35 pharmacies, 18 health centers) will participate in emergency medical care and on-duty services during the holiday period.

The county plans to post information about on-duty medical institutions and holiday pharmacies on the county office and public health center websites, as well as on the emergency medical portal, so that residents can receive medical services with peace of mind even during the Chuseok holiday.

Governor Kim San said, “We will strengthen the 24-hour emergency room operation at Muan Hospital, the county’s emergency medical institution, during the holiday period to prepare for patient occurrences and disaster situations, and maintain an emergency medical system without gaps by operating an emergency contact network for rapid response.”
