Ho Chi Minh City collects 1,700 blood units

1,500 people qualified to donate blood today and so far 1,700 units of blood have been contributed. This has exceeded the organisers' expectation for HCMC by 500 units. After just 1 week the campaign has collected a total of 4,000 blood units. This is considered to be a great achievement as this year's campaign has smashed the event's all-time record for the highest volume of donated blood collected.
