Red Sunday blood donation campaign kicks off in Hà Nội

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Deputy Minister of Health Đỗ Xuân Tuyên said that over  二 八 years, the voluntary blood donation movement in Việt Nam had achieved many encouraging results.

“The demand for blood transfusion is increasing due to increasing demand for medical care and the health sector applying modern medical techniques such as organ transplantation, marrow transplantation, hemodialysis and treating many types of blood diseases.  Therefore, ensuring enough blood for emergencies and treatment puts great pressure on the health sector, especially when since COVID- 一 九 pandemic broke out and spread widely in the co妹妹unity,” said Tuyên.

“The amount of blood received in our country only meets about  七 五 per cent of the country’s needs. It is blood donation events like Red Sunday that have contributed to the handling blood shortage, providing blood sources for patients in need of blood transfusion before and after the Tết (Lunar New Year) holidays.” 

Tuyên also praised the Red Sunday blood donation festival of Tiền Phong newspaper and millions of voluntary donors in the country. 

Major General Trần Minh Hưởng, director of the People's Police Academy, said that the Academy had become one of the typical units in blood donation mobilisation. Many students and officials of the academy are typical faces in the country’s blood donation movement. The academy has also set up a live blood bank.

“More than  二,000 students and soldiers of the academy have registered to donate blood. The academy has also established a club of more than  一,000 students, which is a live blood bank for hospitals, ready to donate blood whenever the hospitals need it,” said Hưởng.

“Among the volunteers participating today, there are students and lecturers who have volunteered to join the frontline force in the fight against the pandemic and are ready to donate blood at many hot-spots across the country.”
