In particular, to ensure a safe holiday for residents, the Gochang-gun Public Health Center will operate medical services and screening clinics during the six-day Chuseok holiday.

The 10 health clinics will divide the medical areas by region to minimize the medical service gap in private medical institutions.

Detailed information about hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies available during the Chuseok holiday can be found on the county (Public Health Center) website, and can also be obtained through the Health and Welfare Counseling Center (129), 119 Emergency Medical Situation Management Center (119), the Emergency Medical Portal site, or the smartphone app (Emergency Medical Information Service).

The director of the Gochang-gun Public Health Center said, “We will make every effort to ensure that residents have a safe and healthy holiday by establishing an emergency medical system during the Chuseok holiday.”
