[이데일리 이지현 기자] 응급의료센터를 찾는 경증환자가 최근 늘어난 것으로 나타났다.

응급실 다시 찾는 경증환자…1일 35.3% '쑥'

박민수 보건복지부 2차관

박민수 보건복지부 2차관은 “1일이 근로자의 날 휴무에 따른 영향이 있는 것으로 분석되나, 경증 환자가 다시 증가하는 추세로 접어드는 것은 아닌지 면밀히 점검할 필요가 있다”고 설명했다.

정부는 중증 응급환자 중심의 비상진료체계 운영에 차질이 없도록 진료 상황을 예의주시하고, 대응해 나간다는 방침이다. 박민수 차관은 “비상진료체계가 장기화하면서, 경증 환자의 대형병원 이용이 조금씩 증가할 우려가 있다”며 “지금까지 더 아프고 위중한 환자를 위해대형병원 이용을 자제해주신 국민 여러분께 감사드린다. 국민 여러분께서는 다소 불편하더라도 중증, 응급환자 진료 차질이 최소화되도록 지속 협조해 달라”고 부탁했다. 이어 “정부는 지금의 상황을 수습하는데 최선을 다하고, 중증이 아닌 경우에는 지역 내 적정한 병·의원에서 최상의 진료를 받을 수 있도록 의료 이용체계를 정상화하는 제도 개혁도 함께 추진해 나가겠다”고 강조했다.
