Ulju-gun in Ulsan announced on the 11th that it had established and operated an emergency medical service system from February 14 to 18, the Lunar New Year holiday period, to minimize gaps in local medical services.

During the holiday period, Ulju-gun set up and operated an emergency medical treatment situation room at the public health center and, in cooperation with local emergency medical institutions, provided real-time information on medical clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies that were open.

Seoulsan Boram Hospital, a local emergency medical institution, provided 24-hour emergency medical treatment during the holiday period, and Haetsal Children’s Hospital, designated as a Moonlight Children’s Hospital, offered medical services for both children and adults from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., except on Lunar New Year’s Day.

On Lunar New Year’s Day, Aijoeun Pediatrics Clinic, Onyang Centum Pediatrics Clinic, and Ulsan Municipal Geriatric Hospital opened and provided medical services.

Information on emergency medical services available during the holiday period was provided by institution name, telephone number, address, and by date and time through the 119 General Situation Room, the 129 Health and Welfare Call Center, the 120 Haeuli Call Center, the Ulju-gun Public Health Center, and the Ulju-gun Office websites. The information was also made available through the smartphone app “Emergency Medical Information.” However, residents were advised to call in advance to confirm whether the medical institutions were operating before visiting.

An official from the Ulju-gun Public Health Center said, “By operating the emergency medical treatment situation room during the Lunar New Year holiday period, we maintained the local emergency medical system,” adding, “By designating and operating medical institutions and pharmacies that were open, we minimized inconvenience for residents.”
