Hwasun Jeonnam National University Hospital Launches 'Love Blood Donation' Campaign

Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital conducted a blood donation campaign for sharing life.

In collaboration with the Korean Red Cross Gwangju-Jeonnam Blood Center, this campaign aimed to secure blood for transfusions and emergency blood supply amid a sharp decline in blood donors. Employees, medical students, interns, and visitors participated.

Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital conducts the Love Blood Donation Campaign regularly every year. This year marks the third campaign following those held in February and June. Due to high participation, the campaign period has been extended from one day to two days.

Along with the blood donation campaign, the hospital plans to actively engage in a ‘Collecting Blood Donation Certificates’ movement in cooperation with related organizations and groups to support patients in financial difficulty.

Son Obong, head of the Social Work Team at Hwasun Chonnam National University Hospital, said, “Blood is the only means to save the lives of patients in need of transfusions, and since it cannot be stored for a long time, blood donation is essential to maintain an adequate supply. Blood donation is a ‘practice of sharing life and love.’ As a regional public medical institution, we will continue to carry out life-sharing events with our staff.”
