Young people donating blood to save lives
The activity attracted hundreds of participants, including many young people.
Thua Thien Hue has maintained the organization of the “Xuan Hong” festival in the New Year occasion, which has become an annual blood donation event. The festival has attracted thousands of participants, with more than 6,000 people registered to donate blood and more than 5,000 units of blood have been collected.
According to Dr. Hoang Thi Lan Huong, Deputy Director of Hue Central Hospital, every week, Hue Regional Blood Transfusion Center of the hospital needs from 800 to 1,000 units of blood, so as to meet the needs of emergency and treatment. Therefore, the “Xuan Hong” festival helps to overcome the shortage of blood before, during and after the Lunar New Year. This has contributed to changing the awareness of officials and people about voluntary blood donation, as well as timely replenishing the blood reserves, contributing to saving hundreds of patients' lives.
