[Namwon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Young-gwon] Jeonbuk Namwon City Public Health Center (Director Han Yong-jae) announced on the 16th that it will establish and operate an emergency medical system from the 18th to the 22nd during the Chuseok holiday period to ensure that citizens can have a healthy and safe Chuseok holiday.

The health center plans to operate an emergency medical countermeasure situation room in preparation for a large number of emergency patients during the holiday period and will also operate a screening clinic to respond to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases.

In addition, a total of 155 locations, including Namwon Medical Center emergency room operating 24 hours, emergency medical institutions, holiday duty pharmacies, and public health institutions, will be designated to minimize medical service gaps.

Furthermore, if general over-the-counter medicines such as digestive aids or pain relief patches are needed, they can be purchased at safety over-the-counter drug sales stores (24-hour convenience stores).

A health center official said, “Medical institutions and pharmacies available for treatment will be posted on the city’s website,” and added, “We hope citizens check the operating hours in advance and use the respective institutions.”

For more details, inquiries can be made to the 119 Ambulance Situation Management Center, 129 Health and Welfare Call Center, Emergency Medical Information Center, smartphone app (Emergency Medical Information), or Namwon City Public Health Center for detailed guidance.
