Seongnam City to Cooperate with Police for Emergency Medical Services for Mental Illness and Intoxicated Patients Starting from the 9th

Seongnam City signed an integrated emergency medical support agreement for police, fire, and ambulance services with the Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency on the 8th.

On the 8th, Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province signed an agreement with the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency at City Hall to strengthen the public medical cooperation system through the 'Jeong-Ju-Haeng Integrated Emergency Medical Support Center.'

The Jeong-Ju-Haeng Integrated Emergency Medical Support Center, named using the traffic light image, provides emergency medical services at the center within Seongnam Medical Center for those in need of emergency medical care such as patients with mental illnesses and intoxicated individuals (RED), allowing them to receive emergency treatment (YELLOW) for internal and external injuries and return to their daily lives (GREEN).

Shin Sang-jin, Mayor of Seongnam, stated, "Patients with mental illnesses and intoxicated individuals are often avoided by general hospitals even when emergency medical situations arise," adding, "To solve the problem of frontline police officers searching everywhere to find hospitals to treat these individuals, Seongnam City and the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency have joined hands."

He further added, "Seongnam City will not only provide simple emergency medical services but also support citizens who have received treatment to return to their daily lives and lead healthy lives by linking with the Addiction Management Integrated Support Center, Mental Health Welfare Center, and local administrative welfare centers."

Through this agreement, Seongnam City will provide emergency medical services to patients with mental illnesses and intoxicated individuals at the Integrated Emergency Medical Support Center within the emergency room of Seongnam Medical Center. The Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency will station police personnel to actively support the stable operation of the emergency room. The Jeong-Ju-Haeng Integrated Emergency Medical Support Center will open on the 9th and begin full operations.

Additionally, Seongnam City and the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency have agreed to explore various cooperation measures for future project expansion and citizen life protection based on this Integrated Emergency Medical Support Center agreement.
