The festival was jointly held by the Tien Phong newspaper, the National Committee for Traffic Safety, and the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion.
In his speech, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh applauded the campaign for its widespread influence on the public and its contributions to national blood donation movements. The 25,000 units of blood expected to be collected during "Red Sunday" will help treat patients during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday. This year, the festival is held in 25 provinces and cities all over Vietnam with 40 voluntary blood donation sites.
