Gyeongnam Provincial Council Practices Life Sharing Love... Promoting Blood Donation Culture

The Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council held a blood donation event of love at the council square.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Song Jong-gu] The Gyeongsangnam-do Provincial Council held a blood donation event at the council square on the 29th.

The blood donation event was organized to help alleviate the winter blood supply shortage and to promote a culture of blood donation participation within the region.

According to the Korean Red Cross, donated blood cannot be stored for a long time (packed red blood cells for 35 days, platelets for 5 days), so continuous and steady blood donations are necessary to maintain an adequate blood supply of five days.

Council members and staff boarded the blood donation bus and participated in blood donation while adhering to COVID-19 prevention guidelines such as wearing masks, measuring body temperature, and hand sanitization.

Chairman Kim Jin-bu said, “Every year, we have suffered from blood shortages during the winter season, and we held this blood donation event to help resolve the blood shortage crisis and expand the culture of blood donation. I ask the residents to actively participate in blood donation through this event.”
