[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] A man in his 60s who vomited blood in an island village in Sinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, was urgently transported to the mainland by a Coast Guard patrol vessel.

According to the Mokpo Coast Guard on the 2nd, at around 3:20 a.m. that day, a report was received that a resident A (in his 60s) in Haedo, Sinan-gun, was vomiting blood along with severe abdominal pain, and a patrol vessel nearby was dispatched to the scene.

Upon arrival, the Coast Guard boarded the immobile A onto the patrol vessel using a stretcher and promptly transported him to Anjwa-do Bokho Pier, handing him over safely to the 119 ambulance team at around 4:53 a.m.

With the help of the Coast Guard, A was moved to a large hospital in Mokpo, where he is currently undergoing treatment after receiving a detailed examination.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official said, “We will always maintain a response posture to prepare for emergencies occurring in island areas and at sea, and do our best to protect the lives and property of the people.”
