[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Saerom] On the 24th, the Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education received Christmas Seals from the Korean Tuberculosis Association and donated funds for tuberculosis eradication.


Tuberculosis is a respiratory infectious disease, and in South Korea, 38.8 people per 100,000 suffer from it, ranking first in incidence and third in mortality among OECD member countries.


The Korean Tuberculosis Association supports vulnerable groups and student tuberculosis patients through the annual Christmas Seal fundraising campaign. The provincial Office of Education delivers tuberculosis eradication funds every year to raise awareness about tuberculosis and promotes voluntary participation within the educational community.



Superintendent Park Jong-hoon stated, "We hope that the activation of tuberculosis eradication projects will be a great support to suffering students and their families," and added, "We will strive to prevent diseases within schools so that students can grow up in a safe environment free from infectious diseases."
