Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 22nd that it will activate an emergency medical response system from the 27th to the 30th during the Lunar New Year holiday period to prevent gaps in emergency medical care.

The 'Moonlight Children's Hospital,' which provides medical services to mild pediatric patients under 18 years old during nights and holidays, is operated by two hospitals: Dongtan Seongmo Hospital and Best Kids Hospital.

Information on hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies operating during the holiday period will be provided through the Hwaseong City Public Health Center website, social networking services (SNS), and text message notifications. In emergency situations, related information can also be checked via the Emergency Medical Portal (E-Gen) and the 'Emergency Medical Information Provision' app.
