While the medical gap due to the departure of medical doctors from the hospital continued for nearly 10 months, pregnant women at 28 weeks went to the hospital about 200 kilometers away because they could not find an emergency delivery hospital to give birth.

According to Yonhap News, 119 reported that a 28-week-old pregnant woman's amniotic fluid burst in Daejeon at around 2:52 a.m. today (4th).

119 paramedics visited the local hospital where pregnant woman A attended, but they answered that it was difficult to accommodate because they could not deliver emergency delivery.

Since then, the paramedics have searched about 20 universities in Chungcheong, Gyeonggi-do, and Incheon, but all were rejected.

Eventually, A arrived at Hyundai Women's and Children's Hospital in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, about 200 kilometers away, at 7:26 a.m., about 4 hours and 30 minutes after asking 119 for help.Both the baby and the mother, who were born

1.3 kg, are said to be healthy.
