Kang Daehoon, along with the heads of the rescue team, the president of Eulji University Hospital, the director of the Emergency Medical Center, and the executive director, focused on reviewing whether there were any areas for improvement in the priority admission of severe emergency patients (Pre-KTAS Level 1 and 2) transferred by the 119 emergency rescue team.
