The theme of this year's Blood Donation Day is " VietinBank – Giving the Gift of Blood, Sharing Life," in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (1988-2023). The event was held at 20 locations nationwide, with the participation of 150 units and branches under VietinBank, attracting more than 5,000 participants.
Mr. Tran Kien Cuong – Standing Deputy Secretary of the VietinBank Party Committee, delivered a speech at the Voluntary Blood Donation Day.
Speaking at the Opening Ceremony, Mr. Tran Kien Cuong – Standing Deputy Secretary of the VietinBank Party Committee shared: “ The “VietinBank - Giving the Red Blood Drop, Sharing Life” blood donation event is a very meaningful program, contributing to making VietinBank's 35th anniversary even more impressive and profound; at the same time, it demonstrates the culture and values of VietinBank people, embodying empathy and dedication, always upholding and promoting the fine tradition of “mutual support and compassion” of the Vietnamese people .”
The Standing Deputy Secretary of the Vietinbank Party Committee called on every cadre, Party member, Youth Union member, and employee of VietinBank to become an "Ambassador of Compassion," spreading VietinBank's love and responsibility towards the community.
The VietinBank Youth Union received a Certificate of Commendation from the Central Business Bloc Youth Union for its outstanding achievements in the blood donation movement during the 2020-2023 period.
Acknowledging the achievements and contributions of the VietinBank Youth Union in youth union work and youth movements in general, and in the humanitarian blood donation movement in particular, Ms. Hoang Thi Minh Thu - Member of the Party Committee of the Central Business Bloc, Member of the Standing Committee of the Central Youth Union, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Central Business Bloc - praised the responsible, innovative, and creative spirit of the VietinBank Youth Union Executive Committee in organizing the Voluntary Blood Donation Day throughout the system. This contributed to promoting the dissemination of information and encouraging Youth Union officials, members, young people, and employees of VietinBank to participate in the humanitarian blood donation movement, sharing compassionate blood donations with those facing misfortune in life.
On behalf of the youth of VietinBank, Ms. Doan Thi Kieu Huong - Secretary of the VietinBank Youth Union - respectfully thanked the Party Committee, the Board of Directors of VietinBank, the Standing Committee of the Youth Union of the Central Business Bloc, the Party Committees and Boards of Directors of branches and units in the system for their attention, support and facilitation of the youth union activities and youth movements of VietinBank in general and the Voluntary Blood Donation Day in particular.
The VietinBank Youth Union aspires to continue to promote its pioneering, proactive, innovative, and creative role in all activities; and to organize meaningful programs to contribute to building a more sustainable and prosperous VietinBank.
At the program, the Standing Committee of the Youth Union of the Central Business Bloc decided to award Certificates of Commendation to the VietinBank Youth Union and two individuals from the VietinBank Youth Union for their outstanding achievements in the voluntary blood donation movement during the period 2020 - 2023.
Leaders, officials, union members, youth, and workers throughout the system participated in voluntary blood donation at various locations.
Immediately after the opening ceremony, officials, union members, young people, workers, and their families at 20 locations nationwide participated in health check-ups and blood donation at the program.
By the end of the event, nearly 3,000 units of blood had been donated to hospitals. This blood was transferred to the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion and hospitals in provinces/cities to replenish the blood bank, which was experiencing shortages, thereby providing timely treatment for patients in need of blood.
Blood is a unique medicine that cannot be replaced by any other product. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, Vietnam needs approximately 2 million units of blood annually for treating injuries, accidents, surgeries, and for people with illnesses requiring blood transfusions.
Every two seconds, there are requests for blood transfusions, and on average, one in seven people admitted to the hospital need a blood transfusion. However, currently, we only meet 70% of this demand. The blood reserves of medical centers and hospitals are insufficient to meet the increasing demand for transfusions, especially during summer holidays and Tet (Lunar New Year).
The VietinBank Youth Union's blood donation program is continuing in many provinces and cities nationwide during June and July 2023, aiming for over 3,500 units of blood.
