[Jeju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Jeongpil] A woman in her 50s who suffered a fracture on Chuja Island, Jeju City, was urgently transported by the Jeju Coast Guard.

According to the Jeju Maritime Police Station on the 18th, at around 9:10 a.m., a report was received that Ms. A (female, in her 50s, resident of Chuja) was complaining of arm pain due to a fall at the Chuja Island Health Center in Jeju City and urgently needed transfer to a higher-level medical institution for accurate examination and treatment.

Upon receiving the report, the Jeju Coast Guard dispatched a 3,000-ton patrol vessel on duty amid a gale warning issued for all seas around Jeju Island, arriving at the scene at around 12:40 p.m.

The Coast Guard used a high-speed boat to take over three people from the Chuja Police Substation: the emergency patient Ms. A, one guardian, and one medical staff member, then moved to Hallim Port. At around 3:05 p.m., they transferred the patient to the 119 ambulance team waiting at Hallim Port using the high-speed boat.

Meanwhile, this year, a total of nine emergency patients have been transported by patrol vessels of the Jeju Coast Guard.
