In order for the Red Journey 2025 to continue to be successful and to promote social effectiveness, Deputy Minister of Health Tran Van Thuan suggested that localities need to continue to promote communication work, flexibly use modern communication platforms to bring the image of voluntary blood donation closer to each person and each community, arousing empathy and urging the spirit of sharing in every Vietnamese heart.
