"Timed" birthday to donate blood

"Although there were two consecutive peak periods during the New Year and Lunar New Year, thanks to proactive planning, blood storage and regulation, there was no serious blood shortage," Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Ngoc Que, Director of the National Blood Center, National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, shared.

Concerns such as health effects, anemia, and lack of willingness... are gone, many donors even "schedule" their birthdays to donate blood. That is what blood workers feel after more than 30 years of campaigning.

Proactive planning and setting the highest efficiency goals are factors that have helped stabilize blood supply in recent years, according to Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Ngoc Que, Director of the National Blood Center, National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.

Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Ngoc Que informed that blood donation has been around for 30 years, however in recent years we have had plans and many programs to be proactive in blood reserve such as organizing the Spring Festival, Red Sunday or blood donation campaigns before and after Tet.

The core important thing that we have built is to have a "force" of people who regularly and repeatedly donate blood voluntarily, even before and after Tet.

During the first 3 days of the week when people returned to work after Tet At Ty 2025, the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion received nearly 1,500 units of blood.

Every year, many programs are organized, many points and blood donation sources are established, diversifying the receiving sources. Even during Tet, people can donate blood without having to wait for campaigns.

The willingness and willingness of the people have changed comprehensively and profoundly, which is part of the guarantee that the country's blood supply is provided sustainably, meeting the needs at any time.
