Nearly 400 doctors and nurses of Hue Central Hospital participated in the voluntary blood donation festival

According to Hue Central Hospital, on average, the hospital needs about 150 units of blood and 25 units of platelets per day to meet the needs of emergency and treatment services. However, during the pre-Tet and post-Tet period, the demand often increases by 200-250 units because patients often need blood transfusions.

In addition, hospitals in the area also need to reserve more blood to meet the needs of emergency preparedness and treatment during the long Tet holiday.

This is the second time in 2024 that the voluntary blood donation festival "White Blouse - Pink Heart" has been held, attracting nearly 400 staff members, including doctors and nurses from departments and centers at two facilities of Hue Central Hospital to participate.

Nearly 400 officers and employees of Hue Central Hospital registered to donate blood and platelets voluntarily.

Among the blood donors, there were Dr. Nguyen Van Anh, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center, who donated blood 48 times; technician Do Van Minh, Vice Chairman of the Rh-negative Rare Blood Group Club in Hue, who donated blood 38 times; nurse Pham Thi Huong, General Emergency Department, and technician Tran Quang Kha, Administration and Management Department, who both donated blood 25 times. They were proposed by the Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation of Thua Thien Hue province to receive a Certificate of Merit from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society .

In addition, 7 doctors and medical staff received Certificates of Merit from the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thua Thien Hue province for donating blood more than 20 times; Hue Central Hospital was honored to receive a Certificate of Merit from the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society for outstanding achievements in Voluntary Blood Donation in 2023 and continued to be proposed by the Provincial Voluntary Blood Donation Steering Committee in 2024.

Youth union members at Hue Central Hospital actively participate in voluntary blood donation.

The voluntary blood donation festival “White Blouse – Pink Heart” has become an annual activity of Hue Central Hospital. Over the years, the hospital’s staff and union members have actively participated in the movement “A drop of blood given, a life saved”.

They are the ones who directly care for and treat patients, with a compassionate heart, sharing and helping for the lives of patients and the health of the community, always ready to donate blood and platelets to save patients.

Through the voluntary blood donation festival, we aim to create solidarity, mutual love, spread noble deeds, and contribute to supplementing the blood supply for treatment during the upcoming Tet holiday. By the end of the day, the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center had received more than 350 units of blood.
