[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] The Gyeongbuk Provincial Fire Department urged people to sign up for the ‘119 Anshim Call’ service, which allows emergency responders to quickly verify patient information and dispatch immediately in case of an emergency.

The 119 Anshim Call service allows chronic disease patients, pregnant women, people with disabilities, the elderly, and elderly living alone to pre-register their residence, illnesses, and special conditions. In an emergency, 119 paramedics can access patient information in advance to provide prompt emergency treatment and hospital transport.

Additionally, the service sends text messages to guardians about the emergency occurrence and the hospital to which the patient is being transported, enabling family members who are far away to be quickly informed of the emergency.

Applications can be made by the individual or a proxy by accessing the 119 Safety Reporting Center website and entering the beneficiary’s basic information, medical history, medical institutions, and other required details.

As of the end of last year, the number of regional subscribers to the ‘119 Anshim Call service’ was 22,433.

Lee Young-pal, head of the Gyeongbuk Provincial Fire Department, said, “119 Anshim Call is a service for prompt response in emergencies, and I strongly encourage everyone to sign up for the safety of their families.”
