Nguyen Thi Gai, Chief Technician of the Department of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Provincial General Hospital, said that every early spring, the blood reserve at the hospital is in a state of scarcity, especially blood type O. Therefore, through the program, the local shortage of blood type O at the hospital was promptly overcome with over 24 units of blood collected.
“Organizing an emergency blood donation program at the hospital in the first days of spring is extremely meaningful and necessary. The amount of blood collected will be added to the blood bank, serving the examination and treatment of patients at the hospital.
On the other hand, the hospital has also proactively sourced live blood from hospital staff with the goal of responding quickly and promptly, especially to emergency cases requiring blood transfusion, ensuring the most effective emergency and patient treatment as well as other blood requirements during the medical examination and treatment process.
Sharing at the emergency blood donation program, Head Nurse of the Department of Trauma Surgery - Burns, Provincial General Hospital Nguyen Minh Hai said: "More than anyone else, the hospital's medical staff and employees understand the value of blood in saving lives. Therefore, this morning, when I learned that the hospital did not have enough O blood type to provide emergency care and treatment for patients, I was ready to donate 350 ml of O blood type to supplement the hospital's blood bank, contributing to creating a blood source for emergency care for patients, bringing life and hope to patients in need of blood at the hospital, helping to share life to connect love for a healthy community."
It is known that in recent times, humanitarian blood donation and emergency blood donation movements have been organized regularly and continuously at the Provincial General Hospital. In 2023 alone, the hospital received 353 units of blood from emergency blood donations mobilized and called for by the Hospital Red Cross Society and the Quang Tri Provincial Voluntary Blood Donation Club.
This is an activity of profound humanitarian significance, demonstrating the noble gesture and the quality of “A good doctor is like a mother” of the staff of the Provincial General Hospital in particular and the provincial health sector in general. Thereby spreading the blood donation movement to save lives to a large number of people in the province.
