This competition was hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and organized by the Seoul Emergency Medical Support Center, with around 200 members from rapid response teams at public health centers in all 25 districts of Seoul participating.


The competition was divided into various categories, including comprehensive evaluation, tabletop exercises, and disaster site response. Gwanak District was recognized for its excellence in disaster response systems, such as rapid medical support, patient triage, and transport, based on a recent apartment fire case within the district. This case was officially introduced as a model example among the 25 districts of Seoul.


In the tabletop exercise category, the Gwanak District public health center also demonstrated outstanding performance, with the triage, treatment, and transport teams carrying out their duties accurately and operating the on-site emergency medical station effectively. The district received high marks throughout the entire process, including patient triage, treatment, transport, and information management, during the scenario-based tabletop exercise.



Park Junhee, Mayor of Gwanak District, stated, "We are very pleased that our district's excellent disaster response system has been recognized," and added, "We will continue to strengthen our disaster response capabilities and collaborate with the local community to make Gwanak a leader in disaster medicine and a safe district."
