Lauding the institution’s contributions to the voluntary blood donation, Xuan urged it to play a more active role in public health care, especially amidst the present natural disasters.
Institute Director Assoc. Prof., Dr. Nguyen Ha Tinh said each year the institute receives 500,000 blood units that are delivered to nearly 200 hospitals in the entire Northern region, and some Central localities.
It is ready to supply blood to medical facilities for emergency treatment in face of the current widespread flooding that is devastating many Northern localities, he said.
