This drill was organized to strengthen the on-site response capabilities of the emergency rescue control team in preparation for disaster occurrences, assuming a scenario where a fire of unknown cause breaks out in the hospital, resulting in multiple casualties.


The key focus areas were ▲strengthening response capabilities for various situations ▲developing rescue plans for immobile patients inside the building ▲establishing efficient dispersal and transport plans for multiple casualties to hospitals.



Shin Saeng-gyun, head of the 119 Disaster Response Division, said, “Due to the nature of nursing hospitals, rapid evacuation during disasters is difficult, which can lead to large-scale casualties. We will continue training to build capabilities that enable us to respond effectively in any situation.”
