The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission announced it will conduct a survey starting today regarding the introduction of mobile blood donation certificates through its 'Citizen Proposal Policy System, ThinkN.'
According to the commission, paper blood donation certificates, issued upon participation in blood donation, are often lost, and the reissuance process requires visiting a blood donation center for identity verification, leading to numerous complaints from users. In response, the commission plans to survey the feasibility of replacing paper certificates with mobile versions.
The proposal for 'mobile blood donation certificates' was recently selected as an outstanding suggestion on ThinkN. The survey aims to gauge public awareness and acceptance of mobile certificates, as well as gather opinions on experiences and issues related to paper certificates.
Since its launch on July 29, ThinkN has sequentially revealed 12 selected tasks, including improvements to KTX child-friendly seating guidance, the introduction of mobile blood donation certificates, simplification of health insurance re-registration procedures for patients with severe dementia, and guidelines for passport validity periods by country on the overseas safety travel website. The commission stated, 'We plan to refine these citizen proposals into actionable plans through consultations with relevant agencies based on valuable public feedback.'
Oh Jeong-taek, head of the commission's Policy Improvement Bureau, emphasized the need to actively address public inconveniences related to blood donation, noting, 'As the number of blood donors is generally declining, we urge citizens to participate actively in this survey to help develop concrete measures for the introduction of mobile blood donation certificates.'
