Thousands of young people join “Red Sunday” campaign
(VOV) - Over 3,000 young people braved the chilly weather to participate in the fifth “Red Sunday” campaign on January 20, donating blood at Hanoi National University.
Speaking at the event, Health Minister Nguyen Thi Kim Tien said she hopes the campaign would develop into a valuable, reliable source of blood donations for patients in need.
The campaign is expected to collect around 800–1,000 units of blood. According to the organising board, the number of young people who registered to donate blood greatly exceeded expectations. It demonstrates the young generation’s sympathy for the disadvantaged and their willingness to share the burden of social security responsibilities.
“Red Sunday”, co-organised by the Central Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion and the Tien Phong (Vanguard) newspaper, was launched in 2009 and has collected more than 2,500 units of blood thus far.
A similar event was also held at Thai Nguyen University.
