This is due to the large number of individuals who undergo HMTN 4 or 3 times in a year in Dong Nai. At times, this number accounts for more than 50% of the participants in a HMTN session. At the same time, the number of people participating in HMTN for the first time is increasing, especially among high school seniors who have just turned 18 years old.
Ensure full mode
To achieve this result, we must first acknowledge the goodwill of each Dong Nai citizen in donating blood to save lives with the spirit: One drop of blood given, one life saved. In addition, a factor that has a significant impact on the results of the province's blood donation movement is the emulation and reward work. The timely recognition and honor of people who have donated blood many times and those who have donated rare blood have contributed to motivating people to participate in this activity. Currently, information of blood donors is updated on the system managed by the Red Cross at all levels. This helps the gratitude to blood donors take place smoothly and does not miss any humanitarian hearts.
Specifically, depending on the number of times they participate in the Red Cross Campaign, the Red Cross at all levels in the province will make a list to propose to the Red Cross Steering Committee at all levels for rewards. In particular, individuals who participate in the Red Cross Campaign 5, 10, 15 times will be considered for appropriate gifts by the provincial Red Cross Steering Committee.
According to regulations, 3 months is the minimum time interval between two voluntary blood donations. |
For those who have donated blood 20 times, the provincial steering committee for voluntary blood donation will propose that the People's Committee at the same level consider awarding a certificate of merit and the National Steering Committee for voluntary blood donation will award a personal badge for 20 times of blood donation. For those who have donated blood 30 times and 40 times, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society will consider awarding a certificate of merit and a commemorative medal, respectively.
For the 50th and 70th blood donors, the National Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation will consider awarding bronze and silver plaques and personal badges for the 50th and 70th blood donations, respectively, and submit them to the Prime Minister for consideration for a certificate of merit.
In particular, for the person who donated blood for the 100th time, the National Steering Committee for Donating Blood for the 100th time considered awarding a gold plaque and a personal badge for the 100th donation and proposed that the Party and State leaders meet and commend them.
In Dong Nai, many individuals and families with high number of amputations have been awarded by the Ministry of Health, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross, the Provincial People's Committee, and the Provincial Red Cross. A typical example is Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Tuan (Dong Phu commune) who has been amputated 73 times.
Mr. Tuan said that after his first successful blood donation, he realized that this activity did not affect his health, so he was very active in the following times. For Mr. Tuan, participating in HMTN, in addition to responding to the movement, what he wants most is to contribute healthy blood to help patients in need of urgent blood transfusion.
Not only did he donate blood many times, he was also the one who built the core force in the work of mobilizing voluntary blood donation. With the propaganda and mobilization of Mr. Tuan, his relatives and many people in the commune actively participated in voluntary blood donation. With his meaningful work, Mr. Tuan was awarded a certificate of merit, the "For the cause of humanity" Medal by the People's Committee of Binh Phuoc province, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society, the Minister of Health, and 100 outstanding faces of voluntary blood donation nationwide...
In addition, for people with rare blood type Rh (-) who have had their 50th and 70th blood transfusions, the National Steering Committee for Blood Transfusion will consider awarding them bronze and silver plaques and personal badges for their 50th and 70th blood transfusions, respectively; and at the same time, submit to the Central Government for appropriate forms of honor.
In Dong Nai, on the occasion of International Blood Donor Day, June 14 every year, the Provincial Blood Donor Steering Committee proposed the National Blood Donor Steering Committee to reward outstanding individuals. In addition, the province ensures the proper and adequate implementation of policies and regulations for blood donors, including: each time a person donates blood, they receive a "Blood Donor Certificate", a gift (of their choice) and VND50,000 in cash. Each year, Dong Nai ensures the implementation of policies for 34,000-39,000 people participating in blood donors.
From July 1, 2025 to present, the Provincial Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation has coordinated with units to organize 7 voluntary blood donation campaigns and has received over 2,000 units of blood. The voluntary blood donation campaigns will take place in Tam Hiep ward (July 21 and 31), Song Ray commune (July 27), Phuoc Thai commune and Long Binh ward (July 30). |
Encourage voluntary blood donation
In addition to the above general policies, it is worth noting that depending on the ability to mobilize, the Red Cross at all levels and units with workers participating in the voluntary labor movement also support additional travel expenses, provide meals for 1-2 sessions, and arrange additional rest time for workers after the voluntary labor movement. During the mobilization campaigns, the Red Cross at all levels also give the voluntary laborers eggs, milk, medical masks, etc.
In particular, the Provincial Steering Committee for the Movement of the National Youth Volunteers requires all association officials, volunteers and coordinating units to always show a cheerful attitude and behave civilly when interacting with the participants of the National Youth Volunteers. This first of all builds the image of friendly association officials, while creating a joyful and harmonious atmosphere during each National Youth Volunteers campaign.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Khanh Van, in Tam Hiep ward, said that she has participated in HMTN 7 times. There were times when the number of participants was very large, so the waiting time was long. However, from filling out the registration form, screening, to waiting to be called to the bed to have blood drawn, receiving gifts and benefits... the Red Cross staff enthusiastically guided and took the time to answer questions from her and her group of friends. This created positive emotions for the participants and, as long as her health allowed, Ms. Van continued to participate in HMTN.
Like Ms. Van, a small thing that brings joy to Mr. Mai Hung Quang, in Loc Quang commune, in each blood donation is the care and thoughtfulness of the organizing committee members. Each glass of sugar water, each bandage, each question, the doctor's attentive examination, or the carefully prepared snack have contributed to making his blood donations an enjoyable experience. Every year, he regularly participates in 3 blood donations and up to now, he has donated blood 21 times.
In recent times, the Red Cross at all levels in the province has been highly appreciated for its care for people with blood loss by maintaining continuous contact with them, organizing activities with each association, group, and rare blood club. Specifically, each commune and ward has built and maintained a live blood bank team, a blood loss club, and a rare blood club. These blood loss teams and clubs are the core force when medical facilities need blood suddenly. To encourage the meaningful work of members, the Red Cross at all levels in the province has maintained meetings and collective activities, praising positive factors.
