Red Sunday is an annual blood donation programme implemented by Tien Phong (Vanguard) newspaper incollaboration with organisations nationwide.
Taking part in Red Sunday since 2018, Samsung Vietnam hasalways been evaluated as the leading unit in FDI enterprises participating inblood donation activities. They have made great contributions to the voluntaryblood donation movement in terms of the amount of blood donated annually, andin the spirit of voluntary blood donation which is spread among the company'semployees.
On this occasion, the blood donation programme was launched anddeployed at four facilities including Samsung Electronics Vietnam (SEV),Samsung Electronics Vietnam Thai Nguyen (SEVT), Samsung Display Vietnam (SDV),Samsung Research and Development Centre Vietnam (SRV) and is expected toreceive about 4,000 blood units.
Dr. Vu Duc Sinh, Deputy Director of the Central Institute ofHematology and Blood Transfusion, said: “The Central Institute of Hematologyand Blood Transfusion highly appreciates that Samsung Vietnam Complex is one ofthe few foreign enterprises that have co-operated with the Institute toorganise blood donation since the early years of establishment in Vietnam."
"The National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusionalso received financial support from the company for blood cancer patientsreceiving stem cell transplantation and blood disease treatment at theInstitute. The positive contributions of Samsung Vietnam Complex absolutelybring value to the social community, and is a typical example for othercompanies and businesses in Vietnam to follow.”
Since 2010, Samsung Vietnam has cooperated with the NationalInstitute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, the Steering Committee forVoluntary Blood Donation, the Red Cross associations of Bac Ninh and Thai Nguyenprovinces organise the annual blood donation programme called "Blood forVietnamese" with the participation of a large number of staff. To date,more than 100,000 blood units have been donated through these programmes,helping save the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients in need of bloodtransfusion.
