BIDV has accompanied the Red Journey for 8 consecutive years

In 2021, the 9th "Red Journey" program on blood donation and raising awareness about thalassemia disease will be implemented in 44 provinces across Vietnam. BIDV continues to accompany this humanitarian program.

The Red Journey 2021 will last for more than 2 months, starting from 9 June in Lai Chau province and concluding in Hanoi in August 2021.

Given the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, blood sources for medical examination and treatment have become scarcer. The Red Journey targets at collecting 100,000 units of blood during the event days. At the same time, the program aims at disseminating the spirit of voluntary blood donation among people, raising awareness in the community about thalassemia disease.

The Red Journey is a voluntary blood donation campaign held since 2013. After 8 years of implementation, the program has received over 350,000 units of blood. The amount of blood collected from the program has contributed to supplementing the blood source for the treatment of patients at hospitals, especially in times of severe blood shortage such as the annual summer holiday.

The program, starting from a movement triggered by the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, has now become a national blood donation campaign, organized by the Central Committee of the Red Cross and widely deployed in localities across Vietnam.

With the desire to share difficulties with the community, BIDV has become a companion of the program over the past 8 years. BIDV joins as a sponsor as well as coordinate the event organisation and communication about the programme.
