More than 1,500 Nghe An medical staff participated in donating blood at the 'Pink Drops, White Blouses' Festival
(Baonghean.vn) - At the festival, more than 1,500 cadres, civil servants, public employees and workers from 31 medical units in Vinh city participated in donating blood to save lives.
On the morning of February 4, Nghe An Department of Health organized the 9th "Pink Drops White Blouse" Festival. Participating in the festival were leaders of the Department of Health, the Health Trade Union, and medical units in the province.
Donating blood to save lives is a noble act of charity for the community. In 2023, Nghe An has done a good job of mobilizing people to donate blood. The whole province received 49,716 units of blood (exceeding 124% of the central target); produced and distributed more than 70,000 units of blood and blood products to hospitals, well serving the treatment needs of patients in the whole Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces.
However, in reality, there are still times (during the summer and Lunar New Year) when ischemia still occurs, significantly affecting the quality of examination and treatment.
Before the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin in 2024, medical examination and treatment facilities in the two provinces of Nghe An used about 235 units of blood per day to treat patients. The blood bank at the Provincial Hematology and Blood Transfusion Center had only more than 1,000 units left.
The 9th "White Blouse Drops" Festival - 2024 organized by Nghe An Department of Health is a practical and humane activity to join hands for patients, overcome the blood shortage on the occasion of the Lunar New Year 2024; is a gift of special significance from Nghe An doctors to patients.
Speaking at the launching ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Huu Le - Deputy Director of Nghe An Department of Health called on all cadres, civil servants and public employees in the whole sector to respond to the "Pink Spring Festival 2024" and the 9th "Pink Drops White Blouse" voluntary blood donation festival of Nghe An health sector - 2024; to share and bring hope to the community.
At this festival, more than 1,500 cadres, civil servants, employees and workers from 31 medical units in Vinh city registered to donate blood to save lives. The organizing committee expects to collect 1,300 units of blood to serve the treatment of patients during the Lunar New Year of Giap Thin in 2024./.
