The People’s Daily Health Client integrates health news, disease consultation, health education, and clinical academia into a single platform. It is the only health‑focused app among central media outlets, the first central‑media platform to offer online medical consultations, and the first to aggregate health‑related content.

Since the onset of winter, due to a combination of factors—including fluctuating temperatures and the COVID‑19 pandemic—Nanjing has been facing an acute shortage of blood supplies. As one of the first medical institutions in Nanjing in 2023 to launch a large‑scale blood‑donation drive, Nanjing Zijin Hospital has stepped up without hesitation, taking the lead in the effort.

Nanjing Zijin Hospital actively organizes blood donation events every year. As an outstanding individual in voluntary blood donation in Nanjing, President Ge Jiangping has led Nanjing Zijin Hospital to earn the title of “Advanced Collective for Voluntary Blood Donation” on two occasions.

The remarkable contributions of our “blood‑donation champions” were also highlighted during the blood‑donation drive.

As a nurse and “Shining Silver” donor, Wang Na’s cumulative blood donation volume surpassed 8,000 cc in her 13th year of donating, earning her the “Glorious Gold” designation. Speaking to reporters, Wang Na said, “When I was in school, my father often donated blood—perhaps I was inspired by him. After completing my studies in nursing and medicine, I came to believe that donating blood does not harm one’s health and can, in fact, help others.” This steadfast commitment and selfless dedication stem not only from professional confidence but also from the empowering example set by those who came before.

Among the volunteers at the Qinhuai Campus, Dr. Xu Weihai is also a seasoned veteran. “As a healthcare professional, donating blood has become an integral part of my life. With blood banks currently facing critical shortages, I feel it is my duty to step forward and give.” In addition to blood donation, Dr. Xu has also joined the Chinese Marrow Donor Program. The selfless spirit of the “Ziyi people” is vividly reflected in Dr. Xu’s resolute gaze and warm, reassuring smile.

A total of more than 100 people signed up for this blood donation drive, with 82 participants successfully donating. The overall blood volume collected was 26,400 ml, including 64 donors who gave 300 ml and 18 donors who gave 400 ml. Following the Spring Festival, Nanjing Zijin Hospital will continue to organize voluntary blood donation events.
