Speech Since the Blood Management Act was put into force in 1970, the national blood service in Korea has developed significantly. - Mr. Rim Chemin, Minister of Health and Welfare, the Republic of Korea In 1974, the Year of the Blood Donation designated by the League of Red Cross Societies, the Korean Red Cross launched the voluntary blood donation movement, which resulted in achieving the 100% voluntary unpaid blood donation in 1983. The number of donors which was only 480,000 in 1981 increased by more than five times to 2.6 million today. The Korean government has also supported the development of national blood service by establishing blood service department under the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At the same time, the Korean government provided support for building blood donation centers where blood donors can give blood in a comfortable and pleasant environment, and for introducing test equipment for safe management of blood. All of these were possible thanks to our heroes who freely gave their blood, and thanks to the attention and support from members of blood service, academia, civic groups and the Korean public. Closer partnership with relevant associations, civic organizations, and international organizations is necessary in order to promote blood donation through safe blood management and improved service for blood donors. In this regard, today’s event will provide a precious opportunity for Korea.

  • World Blood Donor Day — Anyone Can Save a Life
    14 JUNE: WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY — ANYONE CAN SAVE A LIFE Eight out of ten people in the world do not have access to safe blood Geneva — Thanks to the millions of people who give blood safely and anonymously, thousands of lives are saved every day. But the chances of receiving a safe transfusion — or any transfusion at all — vary enormously from country to country. Some 60% of global blood supplies goes to 18% of the world's people, leaving 82% of the global population inadequately covered. World Blood Donor Day 2005 is a time to thank the world's regular, voluntary blood donors as well as a day for personal reflection. Almost everyone can contribute to saving a life, either by becoming a regular donor or — if health reasons prevent that — by volunteering to help on blood donation days. "Safe blood is a fundamental need for the health system of any country," said Dr LEE Jong-wook, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). "WHO's 192 Member States have recently agreed that World Blood Donor Day will be an officially recognized annual event. This will help raise awareness of the continuing need for safe blood and safe donors." WHO and other organizations have advocated clear strategies to increase universal access to safe blood. These are based on promoting regular, voluntary, unpaid donations and on nationally coordinated blood transfusion services. Malawi, a country with 14.4% incidence of HIV/AIDS and huge development challenges, has managed to set up a functioning blood service based on voluntary unpaid donation in just two years.

  • About History of Women's Charity
    International Journal of Liberal Arts and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 8 October, 2015 About history of women's charity Korotkova S.A. Phd in History, Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Sciences, School of Political Science National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow), 13Iliynka, Moscow, 103070 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This review is devoted to the history of foreign and Russian women's charity from the first centuries of Christian history to the present day. After the first two centuries of Christianity deaconnesses started instructed women, visited the sick, the poor, and Christians in prisons. In the age of the Crusades women began to found spiritual communes, the first commune was established in XII century in Belgium. Such movement became widespead in European countries in middle ages and modern history. In XX-XXI centuries this work goes on. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Diana, Princess of Wales, actress Audrey Hupburn and others involve in humanitarian activity and social activism. In Russia Christianity charity developed in a special direction: love for the poor. KievanRus had the most well-organised system of ''social care'' in medieval Europe. The history of charitable organisations in Russia can be divided into two stages. The first stage, from mid-16th century to 1862, is the period when charitable organisations were establishing themselves in Russia. The second period, from 1862 to 1906, is the golden age of Russian societies of charity and mercy. Our contemporaries continue the traditions of charity. Among them we can name RaisaGorbacheva, Russian actresses, ChulpanKhamatova and Dina Korzun, Natalia Vodianova and other.
