Oct 23, 2025
Gachon University Gil Hospital (Hospital Director Kim Woo-kyung) announced on the 23rd that it has obtained the highest grade in all three areas: regional emergency medical center, regional trauma center, and pediatric emergency medical center in the recently announced evaluation of emergency medical treatment contribution by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The evaluation of the contribution to emergency treatment is conducted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare for emergency medical institutions that have contributed to maintaining the emergency treatment system, such as actively accepting severe emergency patients.
The third evaluation was conducted from June to August, and Gachon University Gil Hospital was evaluated as the highest in the country for three consecutive times, including the first and second evaluations conducted earlier, the regional emergency medical center (S grade), the regional trauma center (A grade), and the pediatric emergency medical center (A grade).
In the evaluation of regional emergency medical centers, the reception and sharing of severe emergency patients, and the operation performance of circulating duty were evaluated, focusing on the capacity of emergency rooms and background medical care. The regional trauma center focused on the current status of accepting trauma centers and providing final treatment. The pediatric emergency medical center was evaluated for its contribution to accepting pediatric emergency patients and providing background medical care.
Gachon University Gil Hospital, which operates a regional emergency medical center, a regional trauma center, and a pediatric emergency medical center as a responsible medical institution in the Incheon area, plays a key role in accepting and treating severely ill patients as a gateway to the metropolitan area, including Incheon, the west coast, and nearby areas.
In particular, Doctor Helicopter, which began operation for the first time in Korea in 2011, and Doctor Car, which was introduced for the first time in Korean local governments in 2019, have active and stable treatment for severe patients in crisis situations, with emergency medicine and trauma surgeons dispatched to the site and starting treatment from the transfer stage of severe emergency patients, respectively.
Kim Woo-kyung, head of Gachon University Gil Hospital, said "As Incheon's representative regional responsible medical institution, we will continue to maintain the nation's best system in accepting and treating severe emergency patients, and work hard to create an environment where patients can receive treatment with confidence through close networks with local medical cooperation hospitals and related organizations."
