Every year, on the occasion of Tet
Festival, the shortage of blood has become an obsession of patients. On the occasion
of early spring, every police officer not only plays a role in maintaining the
security but also becomes the holders of the reunion joy as well as the life of
many patients.
Particularly in Hanoi, The Central
Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion need about 1200-1500 units of blood
per day to serve the demand of treatment, emergency in the hospitals in this
area. In the last days of the year, close to the Lunar New Year holiday, the
number of blood donations declines considerably while the demand for blood of patients
is not reduced, furthermore, the amount of blood becomes scarce because of the
increasing number of traffic accidents during the Tet holidays.
Voluntary
blood donation attracted the widespread and
enthusiastic participation of youth
union members of the PPA
One
drop of blood - One heart
Facing this situation, many
agencies and units nationwide have organized numerous voluntary activities to
donate a sufficient amount of blood to meet the need of patients’ treatment.
With a large number of youth members, who have passed the rigorous health pre-selection
and have gone through training time in the armed forces and more importantly,
are always in high spirit for sharing blood with other adorable compatriots, the
PPA is always one of the agencies participating the voluntary blood donation
with the numerous amount.
Only from December, 2014 to January,
2015, the Youth Union of the PPA has joined in four blood donation programs:
National Voluntary Day held by Ho Chi Minh Central Youth Union at Hoa Binh park
with 200 officers, students participating in propaganda and 65 units of blood
were donated; contribution of 50 units of blood to Co Nhue 2 ward, where the Academy is located; the program “Red
Sunday” launched by Tien Phong newspaper with 50 units of blood and especially the blood donation festival
“blood of love for dear comrades” organized by the Youth Union of the Political
General Department of the public security force with 400 units of blood. Not
only directly taking part in blood donation, the PPA also actively participated
in cultural exchange and positive propaganda activities in order to raise the awareness
of officers and soldiers in particular and the masses in general about blood
donation to save the lives.
Many collectives and individuals of the PPA have been presented the reward for having many huge contributions to the blood donation: 1. The Youth Union of the PPA - Certificate of Merit from Vietnam Central Red Cross - National Steering Committee of voluntary blood donation 2. The Branch of Youth Union of Managing Student Department - Certificate of Merit from Ho Chi Minh Central Youth Union for achievement in campaigning for voluntary blood donation 3.

young soldiers are ready to share the blood to heal patients
Joining
for dear comrades
On the occasion of the upcoming
Lunar New Year, the youth members of course D39 who are on guard during the Tet
holidays will participate directly in blood donation to be able to help a
police officer have a peaceful New Year. According to the information provided by
Mr. Bui Huy Tuan - the Director of the
Blood Transfusion Center of the Public Security 198 Hospital, they are currently
treating for the Police Colonel - Deputy Head of Police Station in Phuc Hoa district,
Cao Bang province for his ganglion cancer, which has led to aplastic anemia and
has been treated by chemotherapy and has received a blood transfusion once
every twice day. In times of blood scarcity, to ensure the treatment, 30 students
of course D39 who have the same blood type with the Police Colonel will be
assigned to be ready for donating blood when necessary.
This year, the longer Lunar New
Year holidays with many spring trips will be a great concern of the medical
sector about blood demand for emergency cases of patients suffering from
traumatic accidents. Therefore, each unit of blood of youth union’s members of
the PPA continues to contribute to a hope of living for patients and establish the
beautiful image of the police officer “laying down the live for the country and
the people”.
