In 2021, Khanh Hoa Youth Union and Youth Federation together with its all levels partnered with the Red Cross at all levels to organize blood donation motivation drives, getting thousands of Youth Union members and young people to engage in blood donation, giving over 7,000 units of blood for saving life. Especially, the Youth Union and Youth Federation at all levels also mobilized Youth Union members and young people to donate blood to help provide blood possible for use wherever and whenever it is needed to save those in critical need of blood.
 
Many Youth Union members and young people who have donated blood many times have been honored. Nguyen Thanh Trung, a cadre of Provincial Youth Federation, with 40 blood donations has been commended by the Provincial People’s Committee; Vo Dinh Chau, Deputy Secretary of Van Ninh District Youth Union with over 55 blood donations has been presented a certificate of merit by the Minister of Health, a commemorative medal by Vietnam Red Cross, 4 certificates of merit by Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee for blood donation and mobilization; Huynh Huu Tai, Khanh Hoa Public Security Youth Union, with 21 blood donations has received certificates of merit by Khanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee.
 
“Joining Youth Union activities, I started to donate blood since 2005. I’m very happy that my blood can help save life. As a Youth Union cadre, besides mobilizing blood donation, I myself have donated blood to set a good example for young people to follow,” said Vo Dinh Chau.
 
In order to promote achievements in blood donation, in 2022, the Provincial Youth Union - Youth Federation will continue enhancing propaganda and raising Youth Union members and young people’s awareness of the meaning and importance of the humanitarian blood donation campaign in various ways, including organizing competitions sharing experience, expanding and honoring good examples of blood donation; developing plans and assigning targets to affiliations at all levels to propagate and urge Party members, cadres, civil servants and volunteers to join blood donation, etc., according to Bui Hoai Nam.
