An Invitation to Join Us: HFH Blood Donation Day 2026 – White Blouse, Red Heart

The vibrant and energetic days of June are the perfect time to take a moment and appreciate the amazing community we live in. Embracing the message “Give blood, save lives,” voluntary blood donation is a noble gesture that spreads love throughout that community. Each unit of blood donated will bring hope, faith, and a chance at life to patients in need.

Hanoi French Hospital, alongside the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT), have overseen many successful years of blood donation events together.
