[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] On the 7th, Oh Byeong-kwon, Acting Governor of Gyeonggi Province, visited Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center Uijeongbu Hospital to check the status of COVID-19 response in northern Gyeonggi and encourage the medical staff.

At the event, Acting Governor Oh said, "Northern region hospitals such as Gyeonggi Provincial Medical Center Uijeongbu, Paju, and Pocheon Hospitals are playing a key role in medical response in northern Gyeonggi through the operation of dedicated COVID-19 hospitals," and added, "Please continue to make efforts so that there is no difference in medical service utilization between the southern and northern regions."

Acting Governor Oh also toured the pilot operation site of the Gyeonggi Mental Emergency Medical Institution designation at Uijeongbu Hospital and urged prompt and active response to mental emergency situations occurring in northern Gyeonggi.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in February 2020, Gyeonggi Medical Center Uijeongbu, Paju, and Pocheon Hospitals have played roles as infectious disease-dedicated hospitals and supported residential treatment centers for over two years. They also actively fulfilled the role of public hospitals to prevent medical service gaps in northern Gyeonggi by providing home outpatient care and mild emergency treatment.

In particular, Uijeongbu Hospital is designated as a Gyeonggi Mental Emergency Medical Institution and is prepared for mental emergency situations in northern Gyeonggi. Uijeongbu Hospital operates two mental emergency stabilization rooms within the emergency room on the first floor and 10 mental emergency inpatient beds in the psychiatric ward on the third floor to provide 24-hour treatment and hospitalization for patients with mental emergencies accompanied by internal and surgical diseases.
