Currently, most of the blood for treatment comes from voluntary blood donations, thereby improving the quality of blood for treatment. On average, 1.5 million units of blood are received from voluntary blood donors each year, basically meeting the need for timely blood for treatment and emergency.
Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Ha Thanh, Director of the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, said: "The Spring Festival is an occasion for those who attend not to ask for anything for themselves, but to come to donate precious drops of blood - a part of life for the sick."
