(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./.
In recent years, Thung Nai commune on has undergone significant changes in its appearance, landscape, and lives of local residents. Road 435 from Hoa Binh City to Tan Lac district’s Suoi Hoa commune, passing through the Thung Nai commune, has helped attract many tourists to the area.
A seminar on promoting the startup movement among high school students has been held recently by the provincial Department of Education and Training and the Vietnam National University of Agriculture at Tan Lac High School in Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province.
In the morning of April 24th, at Uncle Ho’s Monument on Hoa Binh Hydroelectric Project, Vietnam Youth Federation coordinated with Hoa Binh Youth Federation to organize the journey "I love my Fatherland” to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory.
From the fact that the market takes place only every Tuesday, Bo market in Van Son commune (Tan Lac) officially takes place every Sunday from March 24. Thereby, the aim is to turn the market into a place promoting the cultural identity of Muong people in Hoa Binh and the consumption of goods and products of the neighboring communes, meeting the needs of tourists for the local products when travelling to Van Son at weekends.
Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, chaired a meeting of the Steering Committee on Population and Development.
