Late-night Pharmacies in Busan Expanded

Late-night Pharmacies in Busan Expanded□ This year Busan Metropolitan City will expand the total number of late-night pharmacies to sixteen, making it easier for citizens to purchase medicine during nighttime hours.□ The Busan-model late-night pharmacies will extend their operating hours by one hour, from the current two hours to three, aligning with government-model pharmacies (22:00~01:00). Each pharmacy is eligible for an hourly subsidy of 40,000 won.○ In Gijang-gun, where recruiting late-night pharmacies has been challenging, a flexible schedule will be implemented as necessary to guarantee uninterrupted service.□ This expansion not only improves accessibility to essential medications and pharmaceutical advice during off-hours, but also helps optimize the use of medical resources at the local level by alleviating emergency room overcrowding.□ Starting with four locations in 2021, Busan’s late-night pharmacy project grew to 12 in 2022~2023 and 14 in 2024, receiving positive public feedback.○ In 2024, over 25,000 cases of pharmaceutical sales and consultations were recorded, with the highest usage rates among people in their 30s to 50s.○ Licensed pharmacists are dedicated to assisting with safe drug use and protecting public health during nighttime hours, when access to healthcare may be limited.□ You can check the nearest late-night pharmacy and their real-time availability via the Emergency Medical Portal (www.e-gen.or.kr) or by calling 119.2025 Late-night Pharmacy Guide(Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese)
