Many people came to the blood donation site from early in the morning.
 |
Soon after a call for blood donation was posted on the HH Apartment Complex Residents’ Facebook group, it attracted around 150 registers, excluding many others coming directly to the event on April 12.
 |
The event was held jointly by the NIHBT and the HH4C Apartment Block’s volunteer group.
 |
The donors had their body temperatures measured and were asked to wash their hands with antibacterial dry hand sanitizer and fill health declaration forms before making blood donation.
 |
Vu Thi Tham, a resident in HH4C Apartment Block, came to the event with her husband. Both of them have donated their blood four times.
 |
Nguyen Hai Chinh, a resident with blood type O who is working far from home, said when he returned home and heard the NIHBT’s call for blood donation, he immediately registered to donate his blood.
 |
A foreigner participated in the event.
 |
Despite waiting for hours, the donors patiently wait for their turn at a distance which is far enough to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
 |
According to Pham Minh Tuan, a member of the volunteer group, a total of 200 units of blood types A and O were collected by the end of the day. His group has hosted nine blood donation events at HH Apartment Complex since 2015.
