Gyeongbuk Fire Department Cheers for the 'New Life Birth 119 Emergency Medical Service'!

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwi-yeol] The Gyeongbuk Fire Headquarters has provided the Gyeongbuk-style child happiness policy ‘New Life Birth 119 Emergency Service’ since 2020 to overcome low birth rates. So far, 1,315 pregnant women have used the service, and among them, 16 new lives were born on-site, including inside ambulances.

The New Life Birth 119 Emergency Service is a service where 119 emergency teams, specially trained in delivery procedures, promptly respond to pregnant women who are about to give birth, at risk of premature labor, or have difficulty moving after childbirth, and transport them to appropriate hospitals located in Daegu and Gyeongbuk.

A representative case occurred around 1:03 a.m. on Christmas Day, December 25 last year, when a pregnant woman traveling from Yeongdeok to Uiwang-si, Gyeonggi-do, felt labor pains and got off at Sangju IC to request help from 119. While transporting her, a healthy 3.2 kg baby boy was born inside the ambulance.

Also, on the 29th in Pohang, there was a case where emergency responders quickly dispatched after a report that the amniotic fluid had broken and the baby was born. They provided medical guidance, tied the umbilical cord, and transported the mother and baby to an appropriate hospital.
