Youths join blood donation program in HCMC
PANO - A blood donation day jointly held by the Ho Chi Minh City's Youth Union and the Municipal Blood Donation Center on February 16 in the city attracted the participation of many young people.
The participation of many artists such as actor Binh Minh, singer Chi Thien, and Miss Vietnam 2018 Tran Tieu Vy mobilized many people to join the blood donation program.
In fact, university students have not yet returned to major cities due to the prolonged school closure, the youth union had to mobilize young people and armed forces stationed in the city to donate blood. Meanwhile, as the Covid-19 epidemic continues to develop complicatedly, Covid-19 prevention work was also strictly observed to ensure donors’ safety.
The event helps ease the blood shortage in hospitals while promoting the vanguard role of youths and replicating the noble deed in the society.
