In early April this year, Hai Duong Obstetrics Hospital mobilized 4 people to donate blood to save the life of a patient with prolonged hemorrhage and severe blood loss.

According to Hai Duong Newspaper reporters, on average, each month, provincial hospitals and district medical centers in Hai Duong need 1,600-1,800 units of blood to serve patient emergency care.

Hai Duong Provincial General Hospital - the last-line hospital in the province needs 1,300-1,500 units of blood/month, while the remaining provincial hospitals and district-level medical centers need about 300 units of blood/month.

However, blood shortages at provincial hospitals and district health centers still occur frequently, especially during holidays, Tet, summer... Blood collected from voluntary blood donation programs only meets about 60% of the needs of medical facilities.

To solve the blood shortage in urgent situations, medical facilities often have to mobilize staff, patients' relatives, Red Cross volunteers, and young volunteers from outside to donate blood or buy blood from central hospitals to rescue critically ill patients.
