The program is held three times a year, and this was the second in 2023. The donors queued early in the morning and underwent a free check-up to detect any health problems beforehand.
DTU lecturers, staff and students voluntarily give blood
The event has become one of the leading DTU volunteer activities and 460 units were collected. The donated blood could save many lives or contribute to the recovery of patients.
Doctors and nurses draw blood from students and lecturers
Nguyen Tan Long is a second-year student majoring in the Doctor of Odonto-Stomatology program and said: “This is the 5th time I have given blood. I was a little nervous at the first time, but the thought that my small donation would help sick patients to recover and live happily again motivated me to come regularly.
In fact, donating blood is not only beneficial to the recipient but also to the donor. The body works to replenish blood loss and stimulates the production of new blood cells. I hope that more young people will understand these benefits, overcome their worries and donate blood charitably for the health of all."
With the motto “Don’t just take, give!,” the DTU Youth Union has been a pioneer in holding blood donation days and charitable activities in general.
