The Regional Trauma Center at Uijeongbu St. Mary's Hospital in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, is surrounded by residential apartments on November 27, 2025. The Northern Gyeonggi Regional Trauma Center is the largest and most active trauma facility in the region, working closely with the 119 emergency services and helicopter EMS (Emergency Medical Service). The center provides 24-hour rapid surgery and treatment for severe trauma patients, such as those injured in traffic accidents or falls, whereas general emergency rooms treat a wider range of patients, from minor injuries to serious illnesses.
