On February 17, the Office of the People's Council of Da Nang City said that the People's Committee of Da Nang City has submitted a document on the level of support for voluntary blood donors in the area.

According to the draft resolution, in addition to support according to regulations of the Ministry of Health, Da Nang will provide cash support for blood donors in the amount of 100,000 VND for a 250ml blood unit, 150,000 VND for a 350ml blood unit, and 180,000 VND for a 450ml blood unit.

For voluntary blood donors who separate blood components, they will receive cash support of 200,000 VND for blood units from 250ml to 400ml.

Receive support of 250,000 VND for blood units from 400ml to 500ml.

Receive support of 300,000 VND for blood units from 500ml to 600ml.

Accordingly, with the separate cash support level of Da Nang city along with cash support (travel expenses) according to Circular No. 15 of the Ministry of Health, voluntary blood donors will receive cash about 33 - 52% lower than blood donors who receive money.

Specifically, if you donate 250ml, you will receive a total support amount of 150,000 VND, compared to the total amount of money that blood donors receive, which is 225,000 VND, it is 33.3% lower.

Donating 350ml will receive a total support of 200,000 VND, compared to the total amount of money that blood donors receive, which is 350,000 VND, it is 42.9% lower.

Encourage voluntary blood donation, reduce blood donation for money

According to the People's Committee of Da Nang City, currently 94% of the blood received in Da Nang City is from voluntary blood donors.

From 2019 to present, Da Nang City has maintained and exceeded the target of the blood mobilization and collection plan assigned by the National Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation and is higher than the national average.

However, the voluntary blood donation campaign still has some problems such as: the voluntary blood donation rate, the repeat blood donation rate, the blood donation rate of 350ml or more in Da Nang city is lower than the whole country.

The rate of voluntary blood donation of blood units with a volume of 350ml or more is lower than the national average (Da Nang has 55% of blood units while the national average is 61%).

Therefore, Da Nang supports voluntary blood donors to help them recover their health. At the same time, it minimizes the rate of people donating blood for money.
