[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Coast Guard has consecutively transported three emergency patients from island areas to the mainland during nighttime.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard Station on the 28th, at around 11:48 PM the previous day, a report was received that resident A (male, in his 80s) in Bigeumdo, Sinan-gun, was showing symptoms of respiratory distress. The Amtae Police Substation coastal rescue boat was urgently dispatched to Bigeumdo Sudaehang.

The Coast Guard quickly boarded Mr. A, whose oxygen saturation had dropped and who was weak, onto the coastal rescue boat and transported him to Namgang Pier on Amtaedo Island, handing him over to the 119 ambulance team at around 1:05 AM that day.

Earlier, at around 8:20 PM on the same day, the Coast Guard received a report that resident B (male, in his 80s) of Dochodo, Sinan-gun, was suffering from severe abdominal pain and transported him to the mainland. Then, at around 9:28 PM, resident C (male, in his 60s) of Jodo, Jindo-gun, who required detailed examination due to lower abdominal pain, was also transported consecutively.

All three emergency patients transported to the mainland were moved to hospitals located in Mokpo, where they are currently undergoing detailed examinations and receiving treatment.

The Mokpo Coast Guard Station has been doing its utmost to protect the precious lives of the people by transporting 321 emergency patients from maritime and island areas to the mainland this year using patrol vessels and coastal rescue boats.
