At Victoria Healthcare Clinics in Thu Duc City (Aug 17) and in Phu Nhuan (Aug 28)
The need for blood doesn’t take a summer break. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood to save the lives of trauma victims, surgical patients, and patients with life-threatening blood diseases. World Blood Donor Day 2023 calls for us to "Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often."
AmCham is working with the Hospital of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (BTH) to organize Summer Blood Donor Days 2023 at Victoria Healthcare Clinics on August 17 in Thu Duc and August 28 in Phu Nhuan. The day is meant to encourage voluntary blood donations during the high season of blood shortage in summer.
Please join us to become blood donors and help build a strong foundation of sustainable national blood supply that will meet the needs of all patients.
We look forward to receiving your registration!
For further information and blood donation registration, please contact Ms. Sam Hoang at 028 3824 3562 or sam.hoang@amchamvietnam.com
