Dongducheon City, Gyeonggi Province (Mayor Park Hyung-deok) announced on the 4th that during the monthly assembly held recently in the city hall's main conference room, a commendation for blood donation merit was awarded to Mr. Son Hyun-soo for his significant contribution to spreading the culture of blood donation and stabilizing the blood supply.

Mr. Son began donating blood in 1981 and has been regularly donating twice a month. As of 2024, he has donated blood more than 600 times, leading the way in sharing life for citizens in need of blood.

A health center official said, "We sincerely thank the blood donation merit recipients who actively took the lead in spreading the culture of blood donation and stabilizing the blood supply," and added, "We will continue to strive to further expand the blood donation culture in the local community."
