Geochang-gun and Gyeongnam Blood Center Launch Summer Blood Donation Campaign

Sharing Life, Sharing Love in Practice

Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is conducting a summer blood donation campaign on the 22nd in collaboration with the Korean Red Cross Gyeongnam Blood Center amid ongoing domestic blood supply issues.

With blood donors sharply decreasing and clinical demand increasing, this campaign is significant not only for overcoming supply challenges but also for enabling various participants to practice life-sharing through blood donation.

The blood donation campaign will take place on the 22nd from 1:30 PM to 4:00 PM at the blood donation bus stationed at the rotary in front of Geochang-gun Office.

Eligible participants for blood donation are healthy residents aged between 16 and under 70 years old (women weighing at least 45 kg, men at least 50 kg). Donors should have had sufficient rest before donating and bring a valid ID when visiting the blood donation bus. However, those with a history of COVID-19 can participate only after 10 days of full recovery.

By participating in the blood donation, donors can check their health status through blood tests and receive a small commemorative gift.

County Governor Goo In-mo stated, “Blood donation is a precious act that can make another person’s heart beat with just a momentary choice. I thank all the residents who consistently participate in blood donations and hope many will show interest in this event as well.”

Meanwhile, Geochang-gun also held a blood donation campaign on the 1st, making this the second campaign in August.
