Blood donation call from South Saigon Hospital

(Dan Tri) - At the end of the year, the need for blood transfusions at medical facilities often increases sharply due to the increase in the number of serious illnesses, emergencies and surgeries.

According to information from many medical units in Ho Chi Minh City, the amount of blood reserves is decreasing sharply and is not enough to meet the treatment needs. This situation directly affects medical examination and treatment activities, especially surgeries, treatment of serious diseases and emergencies that require large amounts of blood.

Aiming to ensure a safe and continuous blood supply, Nam Sai Gon International General Hospital calls on the community to donate blood to support patients.

According to the hospital, blood shortages can delay or interrupt a patient's treatment, leading to a high risk of complications and even life-threatening complications.

For many patients, especially those who have had accidents, have blood diseases or need emergency surgery, every unit of blood means life or death.

This shortage not only puts pressure on the health system but also makes many families worried when relatives need blood transfusions but supplies are limited.

In that context, voluntary blood donation continues to be an important and sustainable solution to ensure a safe and timely blood source for patients.

Realizing the responsibility to the community and the desire to join hands to reduce the pressure on the blood bank, recently, Nam Sai Gon Hospital has cooperated with the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Hospital to implement the humanitarian blood donation program "Giving drops of blood of love - Giving hope of life".

This time, the program has the theme "Emergency Blood Transfusion". Nam Sai Gon Hospital wishes to spread the message of sharing and compassion - values ​​that are always present in society, especially in the medical field.

Blood donation is not only a noble gesture, but also a humanitarian act, when each drop of blood donated can become a source of life for another person struggling with illness.

With just a few minutes of donating blood, each person can directly make a difference. One unit of blood can support the treatment of many patients in different situations, from trauma emergencies, traffic accidents to surgery, chronic disease treatment or situations requiring regular blood transfusion.

"Each individual's proactive blood donation not only helps reduce pressure on the blood storage system but also contributes to creating a solid, safe and transparent medical resource.

The "Emergency Blood Donation" program was held from 7am to 11:30am on December 11, on the 4th floor of the Saigon South International General Hospital. This is an opportunity for healthy people who are eligible to donate blood to directly participate and contribute to the community.

We hope everyone will proactively arrange their time and share information with friends and colleagues to participate in this meaningful activity," a representative of Nam Saigon Hospital called.
