In Korea, blood donations continue to decline as the country ages at a low birth. On the other hand, people in their 50s and older, which account for most of the blood transfusions, and people with severe illnesses, are on the rise. Also, blood supply is unstable during vacations and during tests as blood donation participation is concentrated on students. In this study, we examined past cases based on the role and responsibilities, participation and cooperation and networks that are key elements of cooperative governance to address the problems associated with managing blood supply crises. The reform calls for increasing the participation in blood donation by middle and middle aged people, and calls for the introduction of incentive programs to increase participation in blood donations, development of a standard model for blood donation houses, and the activation of an on-off network to enhance blood donation participation.
