Hwaseong City Establishes Hotline Between 18 Emergency Medical Institutions and Fire Stations

Real-time Hospital Status Sharing for Rapid Emergency Patient Response

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 12th that it has established a transportation system foundation to increase the acceptance rate of patients being transferred within the city by building a dedicated hotline directly connecting 18 emergency medical institutions and the Hwaseong Fire Station in response to collective actions by the medical community.

This hotline establishment is a follow-up measure after designating 18 hospital-level or higher institutions within the city as emergency medical institutions on the 28th of last month. The city explained that it supplements the existing communication system between fire services and hospitals, the 'Integrated Emergency Medical Information Intranet,' which only targets emergency medical institutions.

The city expects that with the hotline, medical institutions will be able to share real-time hospital status with the Hwaseong Fire Station ambulance teams, enabling swift transfers, admissions, and surgeries.
