지난 '23년 12월부터 시작된 응급의료상황실은 도청 신관 3층에 위치하고, 도-소방본부-응급의료지원단*이 함께 365일 24시간 협업체계를 유지하고 있다.
경남도 응급의료상황실은 중증응급환자 발생 시 현장 소방 구급대의 요청에 따라 병원선정 → 수용협의 → 필요시 전원조정까지 전 단계를 하나의 창구에서 통합 대응하고 있다.
그 결과, 응급현장에서 병원선정 조율에 소요하는 시간을 단축하여 환자의 생존율을 높이는데 기여하고 있다.
응급의료상황실의 운영 성과는 각종 평가에서도 입증됐다.

Gyeongnam Province Emergency Medical Control Tower in Operation 24-hour Collaboration System of Province-Fire Department-Emergency Medical Support Team
Gyeongnam Province announced that the 'Emergency Medical Situation Room', which is the first of its kind in the country, is a key safety net that protects the golden time of critically ill emergency patients.
The Emergency Medical Situation Room, which started in December 2023, is located on the 3rd floor of the new provincial government building, and the province-Fire Department-Emergency Medical Support Team* maintains a 24-hour collaboration system 365 days a year.
The Gyeongnam Province Emergency Medical Situation Room responds to all stages from hospital selection → acceptance consultation → full coordination if necessary at a single window at the request of the on-site fire department and ambulance when a critically ill emergency patient occurs.
As a result, it is contributing to increasing the patient's survival rate by shortening the time required to coordinate hospital selection at the emergency site.
The performance of the Emergency Medical Situation Room has also been proven in various evaluations.
Following winning the ‘Best Award’ at the 2024 Gyeongsangnam-do Innovation Excellence Case Competition, it was also selected as an excellent case in the 2025 (‘24 Performance) Government Joint Evaluation National Evaluation, receiving recognition for its excellence nationwide.
The emergency medical situation room was there for 30 minutes to save the patient’s life
At around 6:00 PM on the 29th of last month, a man in his 50s reported to 119 in Haman with abdominal pain and vomiting, and his vital signs were unstable when the paramedics arrived.
The emergency medical situation room immediately selected a hospital to transfer to, and after first treatment at an emergency medical institution in Changwon, he was transferred to a local emergency medical center where surgery was possible, and emergency surgery was successfully performed around midnight. The patient has now recovered and expressed gratitude to the medical staff who performed the surgery at such a late hour.
At around 6:25 PM on the 10th of last month, a woman in her 40s reported to 119 with symptoms of swelling in both legs and black stool. After receiving the report, the hospital selection was completed in just 11 minutes, allowing her to receive prompt treatment at a nearby emergency medical center.
In August of last year, there was also a case of a man in his 50s who suffered cardiac arrest while exercising.
When the ambulance arrived, it was a critical situation requiring CPR and defibrillation, and with the quick treatment of the paramedics and the cooperation of the Emergency Situation Management Center and Emergency Medical Situation Room, the patient was quickly transferred to a regional emergency medical center that could accommodate the patient.
Afterwards, the patient underwent successful cardiovascular intervention and fully recovered, and is currently back at work and continuing her daily life. She expressed her gratitude to the ambulance and the emergency medical situation room.
The emergency medical situation room has been in full operation since December 2023, and as of the end of June 2025, it has supported a total of 2,474 hospital selections and transfer adjustments.
Lee Do-wan, Director of the Health and Medical Bureau of Gyeongnam Province, said, “The emergency medical situation room is the last line of defense to protect the lives of the residents of the province,” and added, “We will continue to improve the emergency medical system so that even seriously ill patients can be treated at appropriate hospitals quickly.”
Meanwhile, Gyeongnam Province is preparing various measures, such as the “Emergency Room Warning Light Notification Project” in case of an emergency patient, to secure the golden time even by one second faster. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스경남 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
