At that time, patient Quyen lost a lot of blood, his life was in danger, he needed to urgently transfuse 2 units of type O blood but the hospital was out of blood, no one in his family had the same blood type.

The whole family was in despair when Ms. Lo Thi Thuong (the patient's sister) thought of a way to send a message to the Lai Chau Provincial Police Fanpage to ask for help from the police force.

Upon receiving the message, the Fanpage Administration Board reported to the Provincial Police Department's Board of Directors to direct and discuss with the Provincial Police Youth and Women's Committee to urgently mobilize the Youth Union members who are on duty and have blood type O to donate blood.

Immediately, Corporal Giang Xe Me - PC07 Department and Sergeant Tong Trung Thanh - PK02 Department volunteered to donate blood to transfuse for Mr. Quyen. With blood and timely transfusion, the patient overcame the danger.

Immediately after her brother was rescued, Ms. Lo Thi Thuong, on behalf of her family, sent a letter of thanks to the Lai Chau Provincial Police. In the letter, Ms. Thuong wrote: The police officers always think of and provide timely help to the people... The police officers donated their precious blood to save the lives of people in danger.

From this action, the Director of Lai Chau Provincial Police directed to suddenly reward 2 soldiers who directly donated blood and sent letters of commendation to acknowledge, encourage and commend units and individuals with noble actions and gestures.
