Recently, as Korea has entered a super-aged society, the demand for blood transfusions has continued to rise. However, the blood donation participation rate has been steadily declining due to factors such as a decreasing population. In particular, there has been a sharp drop in the number of people in their twenties and younger actively participating in blood donation, raising concerns about future blood supply shortages.

Since 2008, Yuhan Corporation has been continuously conducting blood donation campaigns to help resolve the blood supply issue and promote the sharing of life. The company holds blood donation campaigns twice a year at its three business sites, and to date, more than 2,400 employees have participated in these efforts.

This year's second-half blood donation campaign was carried out at the headquarters, factories, and research institute. Donation boxes were also set up in the blood donation buses to collect blood donation certificates. The certificates donated by employees will be delivered to children with cancer through the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation.

Meanwhile, under the social contribution slogan "Healthy Tomorrow, Together with Yuhan," Yuhan Corporation is engaged in a variety of initiatives to promote public health, including operating healthy lifestyle classes for local seniors and running a free medical clinic at Seoul Station for homeless individuals and vulnerable groups.
