Organ donation has been a humanitarian movement across the nation over the recent past. The deeds by donors and their families have inspired many people to register as future donors and embodying the profound message of giving the gift of life.


People sign up to be organ donors in Hoa Binh city. 

The first cornea donation in Hoa Binh province, carried out in early December 2024, has captured the public attention across social media and news outlets as a testament to human kindness. Vu Huu Lung, a resident in Hoa Binh city’s Tan Thinh ward, decided to donate all of his organs, including his corneas, to help blind patients and those in need of organ transplants. Upon notification, medical staff from the Hanoi Eye Hospital 2 came to fulfill his wish.

Tran Thi Hoa, Chairwoman of the Hoa Binh city Red Cross Society (RCS), said a 20-member communications club was launched in April 2024 to raise public awareness of the significance of organ donation. Last year, the Red Cross Society received 110 donation registrations.

The movement has gained momentum across districts, with their RCSs establishing organ donation advocacy clubs and expanding their networks. Club members themselves have registered as future donors, helping spread the humanitarian message of the campaign.

Since 2019, the province’s RCS chapters have processed over 300 donor registrations, with most coming from Hoa Binh city.

Looking ahead, the Chairman of the provincial RCS Bui Quoc Viet said the organisation will continue implementing related documents, improving communications methods outlined, and mobilising broader support to increase donor registration rates.

Organ donation registration, available to individuals aged 18 and above with full legal capacity, not only offers hope to patients but also provides donors with priority healthcare benefits. Many successful transplants have saved lives thanks to the generosity of organ donors.
