Emergency service : Chonnam National University Hospital

For patients

In preparation for unforeseeable emergencies, Chonnam National University Hospital has a multi-phase emergency care system and operates 24-hour service as Gwangju Regional Emergency Medical Center.
The On-Call System with doctors on duty allows quick medical care (within 30 minutes) regardless of department.
When a patient arrives at the emergency center as a non-emergency case, the hospital will book an appointment for outpatient care or provide information on the other medical facilities that are more applicable to the condition.
Depending on the patient’s condition, the necessary emergency treatment will be initiated, while diagnosis, examination, treatment, and cooperation with the appropriate specialists are simultaneously performed.
The result of consultation with specialists will determine whether the patient is required surgery, hospitalization, or discharge.
In some cases, patients may be transferred to the other medical facilities after emergency treatment.
The emergency room does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Priority of treatment is determined by patient condition.
