In particular, Jeongeup Asan Hospital, as a regional emergency medical center, will provide 24-hour emergency care throughout the holiday period. In addition, each public health institution and designated medical facility will offer emergency medical services on specific dates, and 40 designated "holiday-keeper" pharmacies will also be operated to minimize inconvenience for citizens.

The city will also actively promote this information via the city hall website, social media, electronic displays in public facilities, and banners, so that all citizens can easily access the information.

Meanwhile, the city stated that it will do its utmost to ensure that citizens can enjoy a safe and healthy Chuseok holiday through the operation of this emergency medical care system.
