Former Jeonnam National University Hospital Director Lee Sam-yong Joins 'Thank You, Essential Workers' Campaign

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Lee Sam-yong, director of Jeonnam National University Hospital, participated in the "Thank You, Essential Workers" campaign, which expresses gratitude to essential workers who strive for the lives and safety of the people and the maintenance of social functions.

According to Jeonnam National University Hospital on the 29th, Director Lee posted a photo on his SNS holding a sign he personally wrote that says "Thank You, Essential Workers."

The "Thank You, Essential Workers" campaign is a movement to encourage and support essential workers who must perform face-to-face labor amid the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting non-face-to-face social phenomena, including healthcare workers, caregivers, sanitation workers, and transportation and delivery workers.

Director Lee said, "In a situation where society is rapidly shifting to a non-face-to-face environment such as online transactions and remote education due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, I express my gratitude to those who must engage in face-to-face activities risking infection to maintain society," adding, "Above all, as the holidays approach and workloads increase sharply, causing great physical and mental fatigue, I hope you pay special attention to your health and safety."

He continued, "The reason we can live comfortably and happily in situations like these is because essential workers are quietly fulfilling their duties," and stated, "It is time to deeply appreciate these individuals."

This campaign requires participants to nominate three people to continue the relay along with their certification photo of participation.

Having received the campaign participation proposal from Yoo Doo-sik, Jangseong County Governor, Director Lee nominated Kim Yong-ju, Director of the Nanobio Research Center, Jeong Woong-gi, Director of Hwasun County Nursing Hospital, and Ryu Hye-kyung, Director of Seogwang Hospital, as the next participants.
