(HBO) - In recent years, the voluntary blood donation work in Cao Phong district of Hoa Binh province has received enthusiastic response from officials, party members, and people from all walks of life.


In 2022, Cao Phong recorded 870 participants in voluntary blood donation drives, resulting in the collection of 573 blood units.

Bui Van Chung, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) of Thach Yen commune, has donated his blood 13 times so far since 2007 when he was a student. He has also actively encouraged local youth union members and his relatives to participate in voluntary blood donation programmes. For him, donating blood to save lives is a noble humanitarian act of young people.

He said: "After donating blood, I still maintain normal health and learning activities. I feel that I have done something useful for the community and society. Therefore, I regularly participate in voluntary blood donation, and there were times when I donated twice a year.

As for Pham Thi Phuong from Bang street in Tay Phong commune, although she has passed the age of 50 and has participated in blood donation 10 times continuously, she is still healthy and full of vitality.

Phuong confided that in 2011, when she was taking care of a family member at hospital, she witnessed many patients exhausted waiting for blood donations from the community to sustain their lives.

"I decided to undergo a blood donation procedure right at the hospital. If my health allows, I will continue to participate. I simply think that donating blood to save lives is a noble and compassionate act between people.”

Cao Phong has attracted 6,527 people to register for voluntary blood donations between 2012 and 2022, resulting in 4,323 blood units collected.

Bui Anh Tuan, Vice Chairman of the Cao Phong People's Committee and Head of the district’s Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation, stated that through communications in various forms, public awareness on the matter has been raised significantly. Each year, the number of voluntary blood donors has increased by 10 - 15%. In 2012, the district recorded 243 donors and collected 179 blood units, with the numbers rising to 870 and 573 in 2022, respectively./.
