(HBO) - In recent years, the voluntary blood donation work in Cao Phong district of Hoa Binh province has received enthusiastic response from officials, party members, and people from all walks of life.
In
2022, Cao Phong recorded 870 participants in voluntary blood donation drives,
resulting in the collection of 573 blood units.
Bui Van Chung, Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) of
Thach Yen commune, has donated his blood 13 times so far since 2007 when he was
a student. He has also actively encouraged local youth union members and his
relatives to participate in voluntary blood donation programmes. For him,
donating blood to save lives is a noble humanitarian act of young people.
He said: "After donating blood, I still maintain normal health and learning
activities. I feel that I have done something useful for the community and
society. Therefore, I regularly participate in voluntary blood donation, and
there were times when I donated twice a year.
As for Pham Thi Phuong from Bang street in Tay Phong commune, although she has
passed the age of 50 and has participated in blood donation 10 times
continuously, she is still healthy and full of vitality.
Phuong confided that in 2011, when she was taking care of a family member at
hospital, she witnessed many patients exhausted waiting for blood donations
from the community to sustain their lives.
"I decided to undergo a blood donation procedure right at the hospital. If my
health allows, I will continue to participate. I simply think that donating
blood to save lives is a noble and compassionate act between people.”
Cao Phong has attracted 6,527 people to register for voluntary blood donations
between 2012 and 2022, resulting in 4,323 blood units collected.
Bui Anh Tuan, Vice Chairman of the Cao Phong People's Committee and Head of the
district’s Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation, stated that through
communications in various forms, public awareness on the matter has been raised
significantly. Each year, the number of voluntary blood donors has increased by
10 - 15%. In 2012, the district recorded 243 donors and collected 179 blood
units, with the numbers rising to 870 and 573 in 2022, respectively./.
Hoa Binh province’s Department of Education and Training on April 16 held a conference on the materialisation of the Prime Minister’s directive on the further implementation of the project on the application of population database, e-identification and e-authentication for national digital transformation in the 2022-2025 period with a vision to 2030.

Creating jobs for labourers in general and young people in particular is currently a focus of the province, with vocational training linked to job creation considered one of the strategic breakthrough solutions.
A total of 30 intergenerational self-help clubs (ISHC) have been established in Hoa Binh province under the project "Reducing Income- and Health-Related Vulnerability of Older Persons in Vietnam" (VIE071) since 2021.
Nguyen Thi Nu, a resident of Thach Ly sub-area in Da Bac township of Da Bac district, has been popular in the area as a simple woman that is rich in compassion. For nearly 10 years, she has spread her kindness through many charity activities to ease difficulties for the needy.
Voluntary blood donation (HMTN) is a noble and humane gesture. 24 years ago, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 43/2000/QD-TTg on mobilizing and encouraging Voluntary blood donation and designated April 7 every year as "All-People Voluntary blood donation Day”. This is an important milestone in the movement of voluntary blood donation, creating a strong change in the awareness and action at all levels of the government and people from all walks of life.
Yen Thuy is aiming to become a new-style rural district by 2025. To achieve this goal, the district has been mobilising the entire political system and local people to early fulfil required criteria.
