[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Mokpo Coast Guard is playing a crucial role as a bridge to the mainland by responding swiftly to emergency patients in island villages with limited medical services.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard on the 4th, at around 8:17 PM on the 3rd, a report was received from Jindo-gun Jodo that a boy identified as A (teenager) was experiencing severe abdominal pain and suspected appendicitis, prompting the dispatch of a coastal patrol boat from the local police station.

Upon arrival at the scene, the Coast Guard boarded A and his guardian at Changyu Port in Jodo, continuously monitored the patient’s health condition, and quickly transported them to Seomang Port in Jindo.

Earlier that day, at 6:12 AM, the Coast Guard received a report from B (in his 60s), a resident of Bigeumdo in Sinan-gun, showing symptoms of hemoptysis, requiring urgent transfer to a large hospital. The coastal patrol boat was dispatched from the police station and B was urgently transported to the mainland.

Thanks to the Coast Guard’s assistance, A and B were transferred to large hospitals in Jindo and Mokpo, respectively, and are currently receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, the Mokpo Coast Guard protected precious lives by transporting 320 emergency patients from the sea and island villages last year through patrol vessels and other means.

The Mokpo Coast Guard is expanding public administrative services such as operating the Doctor Patrol Boat and implementing citizen-friendly policies that address the needs of the maritime community.
