Dai Nam University – “A drop of blood given, a life left behind”

Recently, Dai Nam University launched the humanitarian blood donation movement “Dai Nam Red Drops 2018” to celebrate the 87th anniversary of the founding of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (March 26, 1931 - March 26, 2018) and respond to the theme of Youth Month 2018 “Creative Youth Building the Country”. This activity aims to call for the humanitarian hearts of Dai Nam teachers and students to help people who have accidents, patients with blood diseases, patients who need blood transfusion surgery, etc.
According to statistics from the Vietnam Blood Bank, each year, domestic hospitals need about 1.8 million units of blood, but in reality, the amount of blood received is only about 1 million units, meeting only about 53% of the demand. On the other hand, the number of people participating in blood donation is currently only about 700,000 people out of 90 million people, which is less than 1%.
Understanding that, the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union of Dai Nam University organized a humanitarian blood donation festival. Like previous years, the newly launched blood donation movement received enthusiastic response from all staff, lecturers and students in the school. Demonstrating humanity, the spirit of volunteerism enthusiastically responded and participated in the blood donation festival to save lives, considering it the responsibility and sacred duty of each person. A drop of our red blood will bring joy and happiness to the community and help many situations overcome difficulties and hardships.

"Donating blood to save lives" is a noble and humane gesture of every Vietnamese person towards the community and is a humane feature in today's society.
Donating blood does not have any negative effects on health, and even has certain positive effects on the body. New blood will be regenerated and replenished in a short time for the blood donor.
The Voluntary Blood Donation Program at Dai Nam University was held from 08:30 – 17:00, Thursday, March 22, 2018 at Dai Nam University Yard - Phu Lam Campus, Ha Dong, Hanoi. With the participation of all officers, lecturers, staff and students of Dai Nam University and foreign workers.

First, get free health check-up and consultation.
Second, you will be examined and know more about your health, be informed of the results of blood tests (completely confidential) about blood types and diseases such as HIV/AIDS or malaria... if any member is infected with the above diseases or suspected of having pathogens, the doctor will invite them for free consultation and examination.
Third, for every unit of blood donated, the voluntary blood donor will be cared for and receive gifts according to current regulations of the State and will be given a movie ticket presented by Dai Nam University.
Fourth, be granted a certificate of voluntary blood donation by the Steering Committee for Humanitarian Blood Donation of the Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.
