Incheon City Expands COVID-19 Home Treatment Medical Consultation Centers to 10 Locations
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced that starting from the 16th, it will expand the operation of the COVID-19 home treatment medical consultation support centers from the existing 6 locations to 10.
In response to the increase in home treatment patients and to provide smoother consultation support, the city decided to add consultation centers after consultations with 4 additional medical institutions besides the existing 6.
Among the 4 centers, Geomdan Top Hospital (managing Jung-gu, Dong-gu, Michuhol-gu, Yeonsu-gu) has already started operations, and Hyundai Uvis Hospital (Michuhol-gu), Incheon Veterans Hospital (Michuhol-gu), and Baek Hospital (Dong-gu) will begin operations from the 16th.
Each consultation center is staffed with 2 doctors and 3 to 5 nurses, providing 24-hour consultation services.
Previously, the city designated 6 medical institutions as home treatment medical consultation support centers to assist consultations for general management group home treatment patients who were excluded from telephone monitoring due to the government's COVID-19 home treatment method revision.
These institutions are Incheon Medical Center (managing Jung-gu, Dong-gu, Michuhol-gu, Ongjin-gun), Nazareth International Hospital (Yeonsu-gu), Naeun Hospital (Namdong-gu, Seo-gu), Bupyeong Serim Hospital (Bupyeong-gu), Hanlim Hospital (Gyeyang-gu), and BS Hospital (Ganghwa-gun).
The city plans to continue expanding the consultation centers through ongoing consultations with medical institutions.
Home treatment patients in the general management group manage themselves, and if they need medical care or consultation, they can contact the consultation center to receive consultation and non-face-to-face prescriptions.
