Gwangju University Joins Blood Donation Campaign to Overcome COVID-19

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Gwangju University (President Kim Hyukjong) has contributed to the blood donation campaign to overcome COVID-19.

On the 16th, Gwangju University announced that the student council executives, including the general student council, and faculty and staff participated in the 'blood donation campaign' to overcome the blood supply shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The blood donation is being conducted until the 17th with the help of a mobile blood donation bus from the Korean Red Cross Gwangju-Jeonnam Blood Center, set up in front of the school administration building.

Lee Minwook (Department of Police Law and Administration, 4th year), president of the general student council, said, "I participated to share the pain with people who are suffering due to COVID-19."

Kim Moongeun, assistant manager of the Korean Red Cross Gwangju-Jeonnam Blood Center, said, "In March, blood donations were usually well supplied due to the start of school for elementary, middle, and high schools and universities, but this year has been difficult due to COVID-19. We are grateful that Gwangju University took the lead as the first university in the Gwangju area in this situation, and we hope many schools will participate."

Meanwhile, Gwangju University plans not only to participate in the blood donation campaign but also to collect blood donation certificates from students belonging to the student council and faculty and staff and donate them to the Korean Red Cross Gwangju-Jeonnam Blood Center.
