[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Fire Headquarters (Chief Kim Joil) and Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital have joined hands to secure the golden time for emergency patients.

Jeonnam Fire announced on the 16th that it conducted the '119 Safety Call Service Activation Campaign' together with Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital.

On this day, about 20 officials from Jeonnam Fire Headquarters, Hwasun Fire Station, and the Public Health Medical Project Office of Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital visited Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital to promote and conduct on-site registration for patients, guardians, and visitors.

The 119 Safety Call Service is a service that registers one's disease characteristics and additional information with 119, enabling rapid response by the ambulance team and hospital transfer in case of an emergency.

To register, one can visit the 119 Safety Reporting Center website or a nearby fire station and fill out an application form; proxy registration is also possible.

Jeonnam Fire has been continuously conducting 119 Safety Call registrations since 2007, and currently, there are about 50,000 subscribers in the province. This represents a 2.7% subscription rate, the highest nationwide, compared to the national city and province average subscription rate of 1.2%.

Chief Kim Joil of the Fire Headquarters said, "119 Safety Call is a service that allows you to receive fast ambulance services," and added, "We will continue to do our best to provide prompt and accurate emergency medical services to the medically vulnerable groups in the province."
