    Protest Against The Refusal To Admit Emergency Patients In Seoul

    Members of the National Public Officials Union's Fire Department hold a press conference in front of the Government Complex Seoul in Jongno District, calling for measures to address the issue of ambulance ''ping-pong'' in Seoul, South Korea, on August 23, 2024. During the press conference, the Fire Department of the National Public Officials Union strongly condemns the government for failing to take action and allowing emergency patients to die without proper measures in place. Speaking on behalf of 119 paramedics responsible for emergency medical services, the union points out that delays in hospital selection and patient transfers, along with hospitals refusing to admit patients, put the lives of emergency patients in grave danger.
