The emergency patient, Ms. A (female, in her 50s), had visited the Chuja Health Center at around 9:30 a.m. on the same day due to dizziness symptoms. Suspecting cerebral hemorrhage symptoms, a request was made to transfer her to an emergency medical institution for accurate examination and treatment.

On the 20th, a storm warning was issued for all seas around Jeju Island, with waves reaching up to 4 meters and winds blowing at 14 to 18 m/s, creating severe weather conditions. Despite this, the Jeju Coast Guard, upon receiving the report, dispatched a 1500-ton patrol vessel patrolling nearby waters to Chuja Island, where they took over Ms. A and her guardian using a small boat.

At around 3:34 p.m. on the same day, the patient was safely handed over to the port 119 ambulance team waiting at Jeju Port and was immediately transported to the hospital.

This year, the Jeju Coast Guard has been doing its best to protect citizens' lives by transporting a total of three emergency patients using patrol vessels and other means.
