Jeongeup-si Launches 'Love Blood Donation Campaign' at City Hall Plaza

[Jeongeup=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Jeongeup City in Jeonbuk announced on the 10th that it conducted a "Love Blood Donation" campaign at the Jeongeup City Hall plaza to overcome the blood supply shortage.

The city initiated the Love Blood Donation campaign to address the unstable blood supply issue caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the decrease in blood donations, and to promote an active culture of blood donation participation in the local community.

The "Love Blood Donation" campaign, held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day, was carried out through the voluntary participation of city hall officials, related organizations, and groups.

The city is making every effort to secure blood supply by conducting blood donation campaigns quarterly every year to protect citizens' lives and contribute to health improvement through blood donation.

In particular, the Jeongeup Blood Donation Center operates every Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. to encourage citizens to participate in blood donation.

Anyone in the community can participate in blood donation, and so far this year, 2,867 citizens have joined blood donation, including group and individual donations.

Participants in blood donation receive seven types of medical tests, including blood type, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis tests, and liver function tests, as well as a gift certificate worth 10,000 KRW per donation.

A city official said, "The Love Blood Donation, which continues through the voluntary participation of employees, is becoming a culture of sharing life that practices love for neighbors," and added, "We ask for continued participation to raise awareness of the importance of blood donation and to share the pain of neighbors."
