Jeonnam Animal Hygiene Testing Center Holds Blood Donation Event to Overcome Blood Shortage

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The labor and management of the Jeonnam Provincial Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory have stepped up to overcome the national crisis of ‘blood shortage’ caused by COVID-19.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 19th, the staff of the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory branch of the Jeonnam Provincial Government Employees' Union held a ‘Love Life Sharing Blood Donation Event’ the day before.

This blood donation event was organized through the voluntary participation of employees to overcome the national blood shortage, as the national blood reserve level rose from the interest stage to the caution stage due to concerns about COVID-19 infection.

On that day, about 60 employees of the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory, with the meaning of sharing their hearts through blood donation together with labor and management, participated in the blood donation, and to prevent COVID-19, the number of participants was dispersed by time slots to proceed safely.

Jung Ji-young, head of the Animal Hygiene Testing Laboratory, said, “I am glad to be able to practice social responsibility as a public official to overcome the national crisis together even if only a little,” and “I thank Branch Chief Kang Mu-sam, the union members, and all employees who participated together.”

Gwak Chan-woo, a newly appointed officer, said, “It has been less than a month since my personnel appointment, but seeing senior employees take the lead in sharing the pain, I voluntarily participated in the blood donation,” and “I believe that these small efforts will become hope that saves the local community.”
