The Coast Guard boarded the patient and guardian onto the patrol boat and swiftly moved to Bokho Port in Anjwa.

With the help of the Coast Guard, Ms. A was transported to the mainland and transferred to a large hospital in Mokpo, where she is currently receiving treatment.

A Mokpo Coast Guard official said, “We will maintain a constant readiness to dispatch so that island residents are not isolated in medical blind spots and do our best to protect the precious lives of residents.”
