The Department of Emergency Medicine provides optimal emergency medical care for patients requiring immediate treatment due to accidents and acute conditions such as cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases.

At Sejong Hospital, the Department of Emergency Medicine operates a 24-hour, year-round emergency care system staffed not only by board-certified emergency medicine physicians but also by cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons on site at all times. This ensures rapid and effective response to any emergency situation, at any hour.

In particular, when patients with acute coronary syndromes or acute aortic diseases arrive at the emergency department, immediate emergency treatment is initiated, followed by seamless multidisciplinary collaboration with the relevant specialties to significantly reduce treatment time.

This highly coordinated system secures the critical “golden time” that directly affects patient survival and has led to some of the nation’s most outstanding outcomes in the treatment of acute cardiac diseases.

Committed to patient safety as its highest priority, the Department of Emergency Medicine at Sejong Hospital will continue to save lives through rapid and accurate emergency care while leading the advancement of regional emergency medical services.
