Blood donation drive held in Hanoi
PANO – The Youth Union of the Party Central Committee’s Organizations in association with the Youth Union of the Central Pediatrics Hospital launched the 8th blood donation drive themed “Blood drops for children” on October 29 in Hanoi.
The event aims to collect more blood units to at least partly meet the demand of patients under treatment at the Central Pediatrics Hospital and raise the public’s awareness of the urgent necessity of blood donation, particularly at times of natural disasters, when stocks become dangerously depleted.

The organizing board expected to collect 700 blood units from doctors, medical employees and voluntary youths during the event.
