Nurse Quoc Cuong, Department of General Hematology, also donated blood on the second day of Tet. Cuong shared: "Every year I try to donate blood at the beginning of the year to hope that the new year will bring more luck and success in work and life and to save more patients."
On the 5th day of Tet, Dr. Vu Duc Binh, Deputy Director of the Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, along with doctors and nurses on duty on the 5th day of Tet, donated blood.
For many years, Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Huy Hoang and the young officers of the Capital Police have maintained the habit of donating blood after their shift on Tet holiday. Senior Lieutenant Le Thanh Tung (Nghia Do Ward Police, Cau Giay) confided: “This is my 20th time donating blood. This memory is even more special because it takes place on the first day of the Lunar New Year. After our lunch break, we are ready to respond directly. The happiest thing is to do something small but practical to serve the people.”
