Troops of Signal Officer Candidate School join blood donation program

Cadets donate blood.

The event was part of activities in response to the blood donation movement for military youths in 2022 launched by the General Department of Political Affairs (GDP), as well as the celebration of the 91st founding anniversary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931-2022).

With the theme “A Donated Drop of Blood Saves a Life,” the program drew the participation of more than 1,000 officers, cadets, soldiers, and staff of the school.

Blood donation is a noble deed and a tradition of Vietnamese people. Therefore, the blood donation drive has been implemented and expanded over the past time, showing military youths’ pioneering role and responsibility towards the community.

Donors receive certificates of appreciation for voluntary blood donation.

At the end of the program, the school collected over 900 blood units, contributing to easing blood shortage for treatment at hospitals across the province, especially amid the complicated developments of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the medical staff of the Red Cross Association of Khanh Hoa province provided medical examinations and health counseling before donating blood.
