[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Coast Guard urgently transported three emergency patients from island areas in Jeollanam-do to the mainland over the weekend.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard Station on the 13th, at 8:28 p.m. on the 11th, a report was received that resident A (60, female) in Gosado, Sinan-gun, was experiencing severe abdominal pain and needed to be transported to a mainland hospital, prompting the dispatch of a patrol vessel.

The Coast Guard boarded resident A and her guardian onto the patrol vessel at the Gosado pier and quickly transported them to Anjwa Bokho Port while monitoring the patient's condition.

Earlier that day, at 4:08 p.m., the Coast Guard transported resident B (70, female) from Hataedo, Sinan-gun, who had fractured her wrist after falling during work on a rocky shore. Then, at 7:05 p.m., resident C (70) from Hajodo, Jindo-gun, who sustained fragment wounds to the ankle during grinder work, was transported to the mainland using a coastal rescue boat and patrol vessel.

The three emergency patients transported with the Coast Guard's assistance were moved to a hospital in Mokpo and are currently receiving treatment.

Meanwhile, the Mokpo Coast Guard Station has taken the lead in protecting the precious lives and property of the public by swiftly transporting 117 emergency patients from maritime and island areas to the mainland this year using patrol vessels and other means.
