[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] On the 21st, the Gyeongnam Office of Education held the 2022 Christmas Seal presentation ceremony and delivered tuberculosis eradication donations to the Ulsan Gyeongnam branch of the Korean Tuberculosis Association.

The Korean Tuberculosis Association raises funds annually through the sale of Christmas seals, which are stamps issued around Christmas to collect tuberculosis eradication funds, and uses the proceeds to support tuberculosis eradication projects.

The collected funds are used to support encouragement payments for student tuberculosis patients, aid for patients with tuberculosis sequelae, and tuberculosis screening for vulnerable groups.

Superintendent Park Jong-hoon said, “I hope the tuberculosis eradication project will be a great help to students and families suffering from tuberculosis,” and added, “We will cooperate with the Tuberculosis Association to ensure that students can grow up in a safe environment free from infectious diseases such as tuberculosis.”
