[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chosun University Hospital announced on the afternoon of the 28th that it received 150 ‘Okto Project’ dolls and 150 Lego products from Ainer Jensen, the Danish Ambassador to Korea, at the hospital’s 10th-floor conference room.


The ‘2021 Okto Project’ is being carried out in collaboration between the Embassy of Denmark in Korea and the Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, and the received gifts will be given to pediatric patients in celebration of Children’s Day.


Jung Jong-hoon, director of Chosun University Hospital, expressed his gratitude, saying, “It seems it will be a great comfort to the children receiving hospital treatment and their parents amid various restrictions caused by COVID-19.”



Meanwhile, Denmark’s ‘Okto Project’ began when volunteers started sending hand-knitted octopus dolls to neonatal wards after noticing that the octopus doll’s legs resemble an umbilical cord, which helped premature babies feel secure and become healthier, and it has since expanded worldwide.
