He then visited Sinan Daewoo Hospital (Director Choi Myung-seok), a related institution, to discuss cooperation on emergency patient rescue and transport in island areas.

Sinan Daewoo Hospital, located in Bigeum-myeon, Sinan-gun within the jurisdiction of the Mokpo Maritime Police Amtae Substation, has played a leading role in providing medical services to island residents by collaborating with the maritime police to provide emergency treatment and urgent transport of 88 emergency patients to large mainland hospitals over the past three years.

Chief Kim, together with Director Choi Myung-seok of Sinan Daewoo Hospital, discussed measures to resolve medical blind spots, especially considering the high proportion of elderly emergency patients due to the demographic characteristics of the island population, and pledged mutual cooperation among related institutions as protectors of the precious lives of the people.

Meanwhile, after encouraging the staff at the substation and branch office and listening to their suggestions, Chief Kim visited the closed beach (Heart Beach) and nearby vulnerable ports and harbors to check the emergency response readiness and urged them to strengthen focused patrols to proactively prevent coastal accidents.

Chief Kim Hae-cheol stated, “Initial response is crucial when various situations occur within the jurisdiction of the substation and branch office, which are the frontline departments for civil complaints,” and urged, “Please maintain a perfect on-site immediate response system through cooperation with related institutions.”
