VOV.VN - Vietnam aims to collect 100,000 units of blood in 48 provinces and cities across the country from now until July 30 when it launched the 13th Red Journey, the country’s largest blood drive campaign in Hanoi on May 30.

The upcoming 2025 Xuan Hong (Red Spring) Festival, Vietnam’s largest annual blood donation drive, is set to collect 8,000 blood units to support hospitals in Hanoi and across the country.

The National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT) said that it needs about 50,000 units of blood for emergencies and treatment before and during the Lunar New Year (Tet) holiday, calling for more donations from the community.

VOV.VN - The Xuan Hong (Red Spring) Festival, the biggest annual blood donation campaign in Vietnam, is scheduled to begin on February 18, the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT) has said.

VOV.VN - The Lunar New Year (Tet) is a time for family reunion and travel, but for child cancer patients receiving treatment in hospital they do not feel that joy.

April 7 was designated as the “All People’s Voluntary Blood Donation Day” 22 years ago and, ever since, the blood donation movement has developed on a large scale and won over widespread support.
