On the morning of October 2nd, at Hue Central Hospital, H.T.N. (45 years old, Thuy Xuan, Hue City) was officially discharged in stable health after nearly three weeks recovering from a remarkable cross-Vietnam heart transplant. This was the 20th successful heart transplant carried out at Hue Central Hospital, marking another important milestone in Vietnam’s field of cardiac surgery and organ transplantation.

On the morning of July 8, Hue Central Hospital announced that the unit had discharged and celebrated the successful recovery of the 18th heart transplant patient, N.V.Q (42 years old), residing in Quang Ngai province.

As scheduled, on the morning of February 7, thousands of locals and visitors flocked to the communal house area of Lai An village (also known as Sinh village), Duong No Ward (Thuan Hoa District) to watch the wrestling festival.

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.

The early days of autumn are also the time when the whole family of Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Man, who is now 48 years old (residing at 26 Pham Tu Street, Huong Long Ward, Hue City) and a team of workers rushing to complete a large number of lanterns for timely delivery to customers in Binh Dinh and some southern provinces.

The information was provided by Hue Central Hospital on September 1. This is the 35th transplant case to be discharged from the hospital and singnifies the anniversary of 35th successful autologous stem cell transplants in children.

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".

Ms. Huynh Ngoc Trang is a familiar face with the Hematology and Transfusion Center, Hue Central Hospital. For 25 years of non-stop volunteering, she has spread the spirit of "Sharing blood, giving life".
