According to the figure, the Dong Nai population rate taking part in the campaigns reached nearly 1 percent, mainly from the youth. The volume of annual donated blood units increase gradually against previous years.
Bien Hoa city-based Lac Hong University and Long Khanh town had a large number of volunteers joining the blood donation events.
In 2012, the Provincial Steering Board for Voluntary Blood Donation continues to raise local people’s awareness of the role of blood donation to help patients, and it expects that 25,000 blood units will be donated this year. Besides, it’s necessary to strengthen its haematology and blood transfusion network to localities to support and carry out blood donation activities effectively.
