[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Amid thick sea fog, three emergency patients occurred consecutively in island villages, and the Mokpo Coast Guard urgently transported them to the mainland.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard on the 27th, at around 12:38 PM the previous day, Mr. A (70) on Heuksando, Sinan-gun, reported symptoms of low blood pressure and severe abdominal pain, requiring treatment at a large hospital.

As helicopter transport became difficult due to bad weather caused by sea fog, the Coast Guard dispatched a patrol vessel, boarded Mr. A and his guardian, and safely transported them to Eupdong Pier on Anjwa-do.

Also on the same day, in Jodo, Jindo-gun, a foreign worker Mr. B (30), suspected of having urinary stones, and a resident Mr. C (50), who suffered a head injury from a fall, were transported to the hospital by the Coast Guard.

The three emergency patients urgently transported with the help of the Coast Guard are reported to be undergoing detailed examinations and receiving treatment at hospitals in Mokpo and Jindo, respectively.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official said, “Although it was very challenging to safely transport emergency patients to the mainland in conditions where visibility was less than 200 meters, we will always do our best to protect the precious lives and property of our citizens.”
