Gimhae Urban Development Corporation Supports Blood Supply Efforts

On the 3rd, the Urban Development Corporation of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, held a blood donation relay of love at the Haedong eSports Center parking lot.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Urban Development Corporation of Gimhae City, Gyeongnam, conducted a blood donation campaign of love with citizens on the 3rd to overcome the blood supply crisis.

The campaign was promoted to users of Haedong eSports Center, encouraging citizens who usually found it difficult to donate blood to actively participate.

On that day, 22 citizens and employees participated, practicing sharing life and loving neighbors.

Due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, people refrained from going out, and group blood donations at institutions, schools, and military units became difficult, causing the blood supply to gradually decrease.

As of the end of November this year, the number of blood donations nationwide decreased by 186,000 compared to 2019, before COVID-19.

The corporation held four blood donation relays this year alone, with a total of 116 employees participating to support the blood supply.

Since signing a business agreement with the Korean Red Cross Gyeongnam Blood Center in 2017, the corporation has been regularly promoting the love blood donation relay every year and plans to lead neighborly love by conducting blood donation campaigns quarterly in the new year as well.
