On the afternoon of October 19, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy held a scholarship award ceremony for 200 students. These scholarships were provided by the Mai Dolch Scholarship Fund (the USA).

At 22 years old, Nguyen Thanh Tai (born in 2002), a student of medical class 20B at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, owns 43 voluntary blood donation certificates. At the ceremony honoring 100 national outstanding voluntary blood donors in 2024, Tai was the youngest delegate at the event.

As a regular blood donor, I was also startled when I heard that Truong Thi Huyen Trang had 40 blood donations in just 6 years of studying at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University. The 24-year-old female student is always happy when someone mentions blood donation by answering: “As long as I am healthy, I will still donate blood".

This is the issue raised at the 2023 Students’ Scientific Research Conference, which took place at the University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hue University on the afternoon of May 14. The conference was attended by experts from three member universities of Hue University, including University of Agriculture and Forestry, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and University of Education, along with nearly 400 students.
