Although he has undergone many voluntary blood donations, until now, Mr. Duong still remembers the mood of the first time participating in the “Red Sunday” Blood Donation Day: “My first time was when I was 18 years old, when I was a student. 1st year, Hanoi University of Industry. At that time, I was a bit shocked when I saw the blood being withdrawn, but I reassured and encouraged myself that there were many patients waiting for emergency blood.”

After donating blood, Duong returned to the dormitory. He did not rush to do anything, but quietly listened to his body’s reaction. Duong feels that nothing has changed, even the spirit is more excited and studying is also more confident. Since that time, Duong has become an enthusiastic volunteer in voluntary blood donation.

After thinking about it, Duong realized that he needed to ensure his health to be able to donate a lot of blood to those in need. Therefore, Duong actively practices sports and follows a healthy diet. His habit of not using stimulants also makes it convenient for him to donate blood.

Nguyen Duy Truong Duong has donated blood for the community 29 times.

Sometimes, when going to the hospital to visit a sick relative, seeing that there is an emergency surgery patient without blood, Duong also extended his arm to the doctor to draw blood to save lives. Duong’s actions make friends admire but also wonder. A friend of mine once asked: “Donating blood means losing blood. Does the body hurt then?” Duong replied, “That’s how I change my own blood. The blood drawn from my body is not lost, but another life is revived.”

Not only donating blood herself, Duong is also a volunteer blood donation propagandist. Up to now, hundreds of people have been mobilized by Duong to register to donate blood to save lives. Among them, many went on to become propaganda volunteers following Duong’s example.

The 28-year-old shared: “Many young people want to participate in blood donation but are afraid that if they get sick, they will lose direction in life. So I continued to convince them that donating blood helps the body filter old blood and produce new blood. Moreover, donating blood is also an opportunity for you to get a free health check. In addition, participating in blood donation is also an active act contributing to the health care of the community, including their loved ones. Unfortunately, after donating blood, the test results found that I had a contagious disease, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, malaria parasites, HIV … then I was advised by the doctor for a regimen. appropriate treatment for the health condition”.

Over the past 10 years, Duong has donated blood three times a year on average. For Duong, it is a joy to participate in sharing her life for patients to overcome illness. Duong donates blood not to set a record, but his work comes from the heart that wants to share love and do useful things for the community and society.

Currently, an alumnus of Hanoi University of Industry, Nguyen Duy Truong Duong is working and working at a technology company in Thai Nguyen. Duong still works as a volunteer to advise and support blood donation for the community.
