Hanoi is a city with high density of population which implies great reserve of blood, Dr. Khanh noted, adding that the second fixed blood donation center in the capital will operate regularly everyday of the week.
The director emphasized that the center will make it easier for people to donate blood regularly, contribute to forming the habit of donating blood and giving blood in a sustainable way.
Dr. Khanh hoped the center will be a benevolent address for residents in Thanh Xuan district to donate their precious blood and get periodic health checks.
Earlier, in June 2019, the first fixed blood donation center in the capital city was opened at Hoan Kiem clinic, 26 Luong Ngoc Quyen street, Hoan Kiem district. Over past three months, some 1,400 people have come to the center to give their blood and donated more than 1,200 blood units.
In 2018, Hanoi received over 223,000 units of donated blood which was insufficient for emergency and treatment as Hanoi is home to many central hospitals with huge demand for blood.
Donating blood has become widespread in Vietnam thanks to several campaigns to improve people’s awareness on the matter.
