Treatments available for severely injured trauma patients within the golden time, a time period lasting for one hour

Dankook University Hospital was designated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare as the provincial emergency medical center of Chungnam Province, and the center is now in full operation since its opening ceremony on December 13. Dankook University Hospital opened the nation’s third regional medical center, following Mokpo Hankook Hospital of Jeonnam Province in February, and Gachon University Gil Medical Center of Incheon city-region in July.

Dankook University Hospital, appointed as the emergency medical center by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 2012, set up trauma wards, intensive care units, rooms for trauma resuscitation, and operating rooms for trauma patients, with government funding and the university’s corresponding capital investment of 12.3 billion won. In addition, as many as 50 orthopedic, thoracic surgery, and neurosurgery specialists and nurses are divided into four teams in order to treat emergency patients around the clock. Consequently, the center provides trauma patients with efficient and prompt treatments as it is well-equipped and staffed with specialists to carry out the best medical services 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Notably, it is expected that the healthcare environment of the vulnerable areas in Chungcheong Province will be enhanced, and also the average death rate of trauma patients will be reduced by covering the absence of regional trauma emergency medical centers.
