The program is implemented in Bat Xat commune, General Hospital No. 2 of Lao Cai province and Lao Cai ward with the themes "Red Drops in the Border", "Red Drops in White Blouse" and "Donating a drop of blood - Giving life".
The festival attracted more than 1,980 officials, civil servants, public employees, teachers, armed forces and people to register to participate in blood donation.
By the afternoon of August 1, the Organizing Committee had received 1,420 units of blood. In which, the festival in Bat Xat commune collected 363 units of blood; Lao Cai Provincial General Hospital No. 2 received 420 units and Lao Cai ward received 637 units.
Notably, within the framework of the program, 27 people registered to donate human tissues and organs, contributing to spreading the humanistic message about donating tissues and organs to save people.
The entire amount of blood received was transported, screened, preserved and processed into blood products by the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion to serve emergency and treatment work at medical facilities in Lao Cai province.
Part of the blood source is also coordinated to central-level hospitals when necessary.
According to the Organizing Committee, the success of the 2026 Summer Voluntary Blood Donation Day not only contributes to supplementing safe blood sources for the health sector but also continues to spread the spirit of sharing and responsibility for the community.
