Measures to Secure Police Hospital Location in Preparation for Site Inspection

Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam has conducted an on-site inspection for the final acquisition of a branch of the Police Hospital.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] On the 22nd, Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam conducted an on-site inspection in preparation for the National Police Agency's field audit and the final acquisition of a branch of the police hospital outside the metropolitan area.

On this day, First Deputy Mayor Ahn Kyung-won, along with about 10 officials from related organizations including Kim Hyun-tae, Chairman of the Gyeongsangnam-do Autonomous Police Committee, visited the area around 459 Jaeun-dong, Jinhae-gu, which was selected as the first candidate site, to conduct a final review of site conditions and cooperation matters with related organizations in preparation for the National Police Agency's field audit.

The construction of a branch police hospital is a project promoted by the National Police Agency to provide balanced public medical services, which have been concentrated in the metropolitan area. In response to the National Police Agency's request for candidate site recommendations in July, Changwon City recommended three candidate sites including Jaeun-dong, Jinhae-gu, and the area around Jaeun-dong was selected in the first evaluation.

The candidate site has excellent location conditions such as meeting medical demand, population density, convenient transportation, and development plans, making it the optimal place to realize balanced national public medical services. If selected as the final construction site, it is expected to have significant ripple effects such as strengthening the attraction of medical schools through the expansion of public medical facilities in the region, population inflow, and job creation.

Deputy Mayor Ahn said, “Changwon houses the Gyeongnam Provincial Police Agency and five police stations, concentrating police personnel, and there is also a large demand for public medical services from 1.7 million general citizens including Busan Gangseo-gu and the Gimhae area,” adding, “We will closely cooperate with Gyeongsangnam-do to focus administrative efforts on attracting the branch police hospital to resolve the regional medical gap between the metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas.”
