[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] H Plus Yangji Hospital, a key general hospital in the southwestern Seoul area, announced on the 4th that it has been designated as a 'COVID-19 Respiratory Clinic' and will be responsible for rapid antigen testing of suspected COVID-19 cases in addition to treating patients with general respiratory diseases.

H Plus Yangji Hospital has enhanced the COVID-19 diagnosis and testing system by operating two respiratory clinics according to fever symptoms through a 'multi-type respiratory clinic' to minimize the risk of infection.

The 'First Respiratory Clinic' on the first floor of the main building is a dedicated treatment area for general respiratory disease patients, allowing patients to visit conveniently from outside without entering the hospital, thereby preemptively blocking potential sources of infection.

Additionally, the 'Second Respiratory Clinic' for feverish respiratory patients and suspected COVID-19 cases eligible for rapid antigen testing is located in the 'Walk-through Screening Clinic' equipped with an X-ray booth, providing both one-stop treatment convenience and patient testing safety.

Hospital Director Kim Sang-il stated, "Amid the spread of the Omicron variant, we will swiftly organize operational manuals and systems to minimize confusion caused by the changed testing and treatment system, and establish a safe environment for patient infection safety as well as fast and secure treatment and testing."
