Today's "One Drop of Blood - Million Hearts" Blood Donation Festival is the first time Metfone has coordinated with the National Blood Transfusion and Hematology Center of Cambodia to organize a blood donation festival to help solve the current shortage of blood in emergency and patient treatment in Cambodia. The blood donation festival received enthusiastic response from more than 200 participants, including Vietnamese and Cambodian employees of the company, as well as some partners and customers of Metfone.

Ms. Ngo Thi Quy, an officer of Metfone company, who participated in donating blood and organizing the event, shared:

“I think simply, I live and work here, my family is here, so when society needs it, young people like me have to volunteer first, to donate blood to the Cambodian people. Or when my family, friends, and colleagues need it urgently, there is still enough blood to be given immediately.”

Ms. Ngo Thi Quy, an employee of Metfone company, participated in blood donation.
