Warm drops of blood of love

The image of volunteers rushing to the Central Highlands General Hospital regardless of day or night to register for voluntary blood donation has become familiar. Those timely and humane acts have lit the warm flame of humanity, bringing faith and life to many patients.

One late night in early August, at the Central Highlands General Hospital, Chieu Tuan Khanh (6 years old, Lam Dong province) fell into a state of severe thrombocytopenia due to dengue fever, requiring an emergency platelet transfusion. Khanh's family hurriedly mobilized relatives and friends to donate, but no one met the conditions.

In the urgent moment, the family was instructed to contact the Central Highlands Blood Donation Club (CLB) for support. Upon receiving the information, Nguyen Anh Tu, a student of class 21DA1 (Buon Ma Thuot University of Medicine and Pharmacy) immediately went to the hospital to donate platelets despite the pouring rain. The platelet donation lasted until nearly 2 a.m. and fortunately, that precious, timely source of platelets helped Khanh overcome the danger.

Mr. Chieu Van Tan, the patient's father, emotionally expressed: "The act of Tu and the Club not only saved my child's life, but also helped us believe that life is always full of good people, ready to help everyone."

Upon receiving news that a patient needed an urgent platelet transfusion, student Nguyen Anh Tu registered to donate platelets in the middle of the night.

With the belief that "happiness is giving", recently, many volunteers have registered to donate blood and platelets to save people in emergency situations, regardless of time and distance. Like the story of Chau Hai My (Lam Dong province) and Nguyen Thi Nu (Dak Lieng commune, Dak Lak province). Previously, Chau Hai My and Nguyen Thi Nu were pregnant women with the rare blood type B Rh-. During their childbirths, they received timely support with valuable blood units, along with the dedication of the medical team, helping them "have a safe delivery". Realizing the value of sharing, both women are more aware of the importance of donating blood, especially with rare blood types.

In mid-August 2025, upon hearing that a female patient had undergone surgery for a cyst and needed a transfusion of rare B Rh- blood, Hai My and her husband immediately traveled more than 100km to the Central Highlands General Hospital in the hope of helping the patient in time. Nguyen Thi Nu and her husband also traveled more than 50km by motorbike to the hospital. While waiting for his wife to donate blood, Nu's husband saw that a 1-year-old baby there had Thalassemia (congenital hemolytic anemia) and needed blood, while the hospital's blood reserves were scarce, so he immediately registered to volunteer to donate blood.

Not only healthy people, many special fates also carry within them the desire to share their blood. Mr. Nguyen Xuan Hien (Krong Nang commune, Dak Lak province) had a chemical accident, losing both hands, thanks to timely blood from anonymous donors, Mr. Hien overcame the critical condition.

With a grateful heart, recently, when he saw the information calling for blood donations, he took a service bus from Krong Nang commune to the Central Highlands General Hospital with the hope of contributing to saving the patients. However, due to the effects of the old accident, Mr. Hien could not participate in donating blood.

Although he cannot donate blood directly, the desire to share and save lives still burns within him. Mr. Hien shared that he is currently researching the procedure to register as an organ donor, with the hope that one day he will be able to help others.

Nguyen Thi Nu and her husband traveled more than 50 km to donate blood to save lives.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of life with so many worries, the image of a student rushing to the hospital in the middle of a rainy night to donate platelets, a young man with incomplete hands with the desire to give, to couples traveling hundreds of kilometers to donate blood to save people... all have woven a touching picture of humanity. That noble act not only brings life to patients but also spreads the spirit of sharing and kindness in everyday life.

The image of a student rushing to the hospital in the middle of a rainy night to donate platelets; a young man with incomplete arms but a desire to share; couples traveling hundreds of kilometers to donate blood to save lives... Such noble acts not only bring life to patients but also spread the spirit of sharing and kindness in everyday life.
