PTSC M C Youth Continue the Journey of Spreading Love Through Generous Blood Donations
For the past 15 years, the voluntary blood donation event organized by PTSC M C's youth has not only become an annual tradition but has also emerged as a symbol of social responsibility and profound compassion of the younger generation within the corporation. With the message "Each drop of blood given is a life saved," the program has continued its journey of sharing, contributing to spreading humanitarian values in the community.
A 15-Year Journey of Cultivating Kindness
The voluntary blood donation event of PTSC M C's youth began in 2008 on a modest scale, with only several dozen employees participating. Through 15 consecutive organizations, the activity has continuously grown, becoming one of the most anticipated community events annually, both within and outside the corporation.
Mr. Nguyen Van A - Head of Human Resources at PTSC M C shared: "We initiated the program with the simple desire to contribute to solving the severe blood shortage at hospitals. However, over time, the activity has become an indispensable part of corporate culture, reflecting PTSC M C's responsibility to society."

|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | 45 | 90 | First time organized |
| 2012 | 120 | 240 | Participation of senior leadership |
| 2016 | 200 | 400 | Combined with National Blood Donation Day |
| 2020 | 150 | 300 | Organized under COVID-19 prevention conditions |
| 2023 | 280 | 560 | Commemorating 15 years of organization |
Profound Humanitarian Significance and Community Impact
Each unit of donated blood can save 1-3 patients, particularly those who have had accidents, pregnant women, cancer patients, or those needing emergency surgery. Over 15 years, the program has contributed more than 5,000 units of blood, supporting thousands of patients in overcoming critical conditions.
Dr. Tran Thi B - Director of the Blood Donation Center shared: "The partnership of PTSC M C over the past 15 years has been a tremendous source of motivation. The blood units from the program have helped us address the blood shortage situation, especially during peak periods such as summer or when epidemics occur."
Building Community Connections and Spreading Values
In addition to direct blood contributions, the Blood Donation Event serves as a bridge connecting various units within PTSC and with the local community. Each time it is organized, the program attracts not only PTSC M C employees but also employees from member companies, partners, and local residents in the vicinity.
Ms. Le Thi C - A PTSC M C employee who has participated for 10 consecutive years shared: "This is not just a blood donation activity but also an opportunity for us to meet, exchange, and do something meaningful together. After each blood donation, I feel I have more energy to contribute more to my work and life."
Future Orientation and Development Plans
Looking back at the 15-year journey, the program organizing committee has set new goals for the next phase. According to the plan, by 2025, the program aims to:
- Expand the scale to 500 participants per event
- Enhance technology application in blood donation management and registration
- Build a professional volunteer team for blood donation
- Develop training programs on blood knowledge and safe donation practices
- Connect with other companies to expand the model
Challenges and Solutions
Despite many achievements, the program still faces several challenges such as:
- Changing perceptions of some employees about blood donation
- Ensuring safety and quality of blood donation in harsh weather conditions
- Ensuring adequate medical conditions for blood donors
- Maintaining consistent employee participation over the years
To address these challenges, the organizing committee has strengthened promotional activities, invited medical experts to participate in consultation, and invested in facilities to ensure the safety of blood donors.
Feedback and Recognition
The efforts of PTSC M C's youth have received praise from various authorities and the community. In 2022, the program was awarded the "Outstanding Social Welfare Award" by the City People's Committee within the framework of the Enterprise for Community Day.
According to Ms. Nguyen Thi D - Vice President of the City Federation of Labor: "We highly appreciate the persistence and significance of the program. Not only does it contribute materially, but the activity also educates the younger generation about the spirit of sharing and responsibility to the community - core values that need to be spread in society."
Conclusion
The 15-year journey of PTSC M C's Youth Voluntary Blood Donation Program is a vivid testament to the power of sharing and compassion. Each drop of blood not only brings life to patients but also ignites the flame of humanity in the community. With the spirit of "a good leaf protects a torn leaf," PTSC M C's youth continue to write new pages in their humanitarian journey, contributing to building a better and more humane society.
The program is not only a social welfare activity but also a precious cultural heritage, reflecting the corporation's responsibility to the community - a core value that PTSC M C always preserves and develops.
