emergency blood shortage situations and organize other social and humanitarian activities.
The 24-hour Live Blood Bank Club model was deployed to concretize the patriotic emulation movement for the period 2020-2025 launched by the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society and the emulation movement "Skilled Mass Mobilization" in the province. After the process of reviewing and guiding the completion of the establishment procedures, in September 2023, under the direction of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Red Cross Society, the 24-hour Live Blood Bank Club was officially launched at the fixed blood donation point of Bai Chay Hospital. From 66 members at the time of launch, after more than 2 years of maintaining and developing, the 24-hour Live Blood Bank Club currently has a total of 342 members.
Since its inception, the Club has actively coordinated with the Red Cross at the grassroots level and hospitals in the province to participate in voluntary blood donation campaigns and major blood donation festivals of the province, such as "Pink Spring Festival", "All people donate blood", Red Journey "Red Drops of Mine Land" - Connecting Vietnamese blood... Propaganda and mobilization work has been deployed synchronously, reaching out to cadres, members, volunteers and people in many localities. From September 2023 to present, the Club has mobilized and collected more than 1,500 units of blood for emergency and treatment purposes.
In addition to voluntary blood donation, the Club's Board of Directors also directly coordinated members to participate in emergency response to 256 cases of anemia and platelet deficiency at hospitals in the province, contributing to saving the lives of many patients in a timely manner. At the same time, directly supporting hospitals in caring for blood donors, stroking blood bags, transporting and receiving emergency blood donors.
Ms. Bui Tuyet Anh, Standing Member of the Club, shared: I started donating blood when I was a student, so when the 24-hour Live Blood Bank Club model was established, I decided to join immediately. Every time I receive a notification of an emergency case requiring blood, especially sudden accidents, I always try to participate. For example, in March 2024, when the Provincial General Hospital urgently needed type O blood, I immediately showed up. Just being able to contribute a small part to save people makes me happy and relieved.
Along with the voluntary blood donation movement, the Club also actively participates in the propaganda programs for tissue, organ and human body parts donation organized by the Provincial Red Cross. The Club has mobilized its members to respond strongly, mobilizing over 50 volunteers who are members and people to register to donate tissue, organs and human body parts.
The Club's Board of Directors also mobilized over 1.1 billion VND to organize many charitable and humanitarian activities. Especially the programs: 0 VND Tet Market; Mid-Autumn Festival for children; support to overcome the consequences of natural disasters and floods. After the recent storms No. 10 and No. 11, the Club promptly mobilized and directly gave necessities and cash to support people affected in Thai Nguyen and Lang Son provinces, with a total value of 184 million VND.
With meaningful and humane activities, the 24-hour Blood Bank Club model has been recognized by the Provincial People's Committee and awarded a certificate of merit for its outstanding achievements in the "Skilled Mass Mobilization" movement in 2023. The Provincial Red Cross Society awarded a certificate of merit in recognition of its golden heart for its outstanding achievements in humanitarian and charitable activities.
The 24-hour Live Blood Bank Club model has become a reliable support for voluntary blood donation activities of the Provincial Red Cross Society, effectively linking humanitarian activities with the "Skilled Mass Mobilization" movement. The model also spreads the spirit of sharing in the community, creating a prominent mark of the Provincial Red Cross Society in the patriotic emulation movement for the period 2020-2025.
