Gwangju Seobu Fire Station Improves Ambulance Transport System with Installation of 119 Infection Control Room

Gwangju Seobu Fire Station announced on the 22nd that it has demolished the outdated infection control room and installed a state-of-the-art 'Multipurpose One-Stop 119 Infection Control Room' equipped with the latest facilities, reflecting the diverse opinions of staff, to establish a safe 119 emergency transport system against infectious diseases.

The one-stop infection control room consolidates previously dispersed facilities into one location, allowing tasks to be handled at once, thereby improving work efficiency while enhancing functions to prevent the possibility of infection transmission in advance. According to the fire department, this creates a safe environment for both citizens and emergency medical technicians.

The infection control room on the first floor carries out cleaning and disinfection of various emergency equipment contaminated during field activities, while simultaneously managing medical waste storage and disposal, as well as the replacement of infection protection equipment and emergency supplies in a one-stop process. This removes and blocks infectious agents at once and plays a role in preventing secondary infections to emergency medical technicians and users of emergency services. The second floor features a multipurpose lounge where emergency medical technicians can freely discuss and rest comfortably.

A fire department official stated, "We will create a safe 119 emergency transport system against infectious diseases by resolving everything in one stop?from disinfection and cleaning of emergency equipment for infectious diseases to waste disposal, emergency supply exchange, and rest for emergency medical technicians."
