Some 230,000 people have registered to donate blood in the Red Blood Drops Summer Campaign 2009, and organizers have collected over 143,000 units of blood for medical treatment.
The figures were released at a meeting held in Hanoi on September 19 to review the four-month campaign launched in 60 out of 63 cities and provinces nationwide in May by the Vietnam Red Cross.
The campaign attracted more than 6,000 volunteers, who assisted in promoting humanitarian blood donation, and set up more than 180 clubs of volunteers.
In the campaign, donators came from many social groups such as state staff, police officers and self-defence force members.
The Chairman of the Vietnam Red Cross, Tran Ngoc Tang, said the amount of donated blood has met only nearly 40 percent of the demand for medical emergencies and treatment.
