Yongin Suji District Public Health Center Establishes Asthma Emergency Response System

The Suji District Public Health Center in Yongin Special City has announced plans to distribute training, manuals, and emergency kits to local educational institutions to establish an ‘asthma emergency response system’.

The public health center aims to provide education and supplies to daycare centers, kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools to help them prepare for emergency situations such as asthma attacks and anaphylaxis (allergic shock).

The training program will cover essential topics, including:

• Establishing an emergency communication system
• Providing and using an asthma emergency kit
• Responding to anaphylaxis emergencies
• Education on using emergency medication

The asthma emergency kit provided consists of:

• A symptom reliever (Ventolin)
• An emergency response manual
• An inhalation aid (spacer)
• A bag

The public health center will inspect the status of emergency kits, replace them if necessary, and receive applications for distribution of new kits upon request.

This initiative aims to ensure that local educational institutions are well-equipped to handle asthma-related emergencies and provide timely assistance to those in need.
