For the drops of blood on Tet holiday

(Baonghean) -Blood shortages during holidays and Tet are no longer uncommon in hospitals. Therefore, preparing a reserve of blood during these days is very important...

On the morning of the 26th of Tet, Vinh city was immersed in a cold, numbing cold. However, at Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB), the atmosphere seemed to be warming up every minute as dozens of people were lining up to donate blood. This was not the only blood donation session of the year for the Provincial Hematology Center, but it was the most important because it was the last blood supply for emergency reserve during Tet. Understanding that problem, the last days of the year at the bank were extremely busy, but before the Tet holiday, the leadership of SHB Bank still decided to dedicate a session to this very meaningful activity.
