Resumption of Night Clinic Operations to Enhance Medical Convenience

Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 16th that Seogyeong Hospital has resumed its night clinic services, which had been temporarily suspended since August 1st, operating year-round on weekdays and holidays from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Previously, Seogyeong Hospital had operated the night clinic from July 1st last year to alleviate the overcrowding in the emergency room of the Red Cross Hospital and to provide smooth medical care for local residents. However, due to various difficulties such as a shortage of medical personnel, the night clinic operation was suspended.

Starting from October 7th, the reopening date, Seogyeong Hospital will operate the night clinic from 7 a.m., enhancing medical convenience for local residents and playing a role in preventing patient overcrowding at the regional emergency medical institution (Geochang Red Cross Hospital).
