Professor Dr Nguyen Minh Tri, Director of the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion and Head of the festival’s management board, said the event was planned to coincide with International Women’s Day to position the occasion as an opportunity for donors to give blood as a gift to female patients.
First held in 2008, the “red spring festival” has thus far collected 33,797 units of blood and mobilised the participation of 120,000 people.
The drive has been expanded to more than 30 provinces and cities nationwide since 2010.
