In 2024, the entire military donated over 27,800 units of blood. Specifically, the Army Officer Candidate School No.2 has maintained the volunteer blood donation movement continuously for many years. Since 2000, the school's officers and cadets have donated more than 34,000 units of blood for emergency care and treatment.
Colonel Nguyen Quang Huy, Acting Head of the Military Youth Advisory Board, said that the blood donation activity aims to raise awareness of officers, union members, and youth across the military of the meaning of blood donation, thus mobilizing them to join the movement. The simple deed will contribute to ensuring timely emergency and treatment services for patients both inside and outside the military. “Every year, officers, soldiers, You Union members, and youths in the military donate tens of thousands of blood units" Huy said.

For the health of the community, military youths have actively participated in the blood donation movement, seeing it as their responsibility and honor, a humanitarian act.
Sharing his experience in voluntary blood donation, Corporal Tran Quoc Thang, a soldier from Battalion 3 of the Army Officer Candidate School No.2, said that everyone deeply understands the value of blood. “It is truly happy to know that my blood, along with that of other youth union members and youths, is saving live of someone who was once hopeless due to the lack of blood for treatment. Therefore, donating blood to save lives not only reflects love, conscience, and kindness but also is the duty and responsibility of the youth, especially those in the military, to the community."
