AmCham's Summer Blood Donor Days 2023

In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) organized The World Blood Donor Day with the slogan “Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often”. Following this initiative, AmCham Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City & Da Nang worked with the Blood Transfusion & Hematology Hospital (BTH) and Victoria Healthcare Clinic to organize the AmCham’s Summer Blood Donor Days 2023. The program took place on two dates: August 17, 2023 at Victoria Healthcare Clinic at Luong Dinh Cua (Thu Duc City), and August 28, 2023 at New World Saigon Hotel (District 1).

In addition to two venue sponsors, Victoria Healthcare Clinic and New World Saigon Hotel, the program also received sponsorship from AmCham member companies: Ly Gia Vien, Coca-Cola Vietnam, Dan-on Foods, Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverages, HG Aviation, Tesla Education Group, and TRG.

Blood donors also had the opportunities to receive two round-trip flight tickets from HCMC to Bangkok from THAI Smile (sponsored by HG Aviation).

During the blood donation campaign, AmCham received the support of 260 blood donors, with a total blood donation of 91,800 ml. The member companies that actively supported the program came from Victoria Healthcare Clinic, Bayer Company, Coats Phong Phu, Techtronic Industries Vietnam.
