After the case of taking advantage of voluntary blood donation, the Heart Institute stopped accepting blood from relatives

On June 8, TS.BS Bui Minh Trang, Director of the Heart Institute in Ho Chi Minh City, said that the Heart Institute will stop receiving blood directly from donors (who are relatives of heart surgery). The hospital will refer blood donors to the Blood Bank of Ho Chi Minh City Blood Transfusion and Hematology Hospital to donate blood according to general regulations.

The Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh City ensures blood preparation for heart surgery by receiving blood from the Blood Bank, committed to ensuring the professional work at the Institute. At the same time, the interests of the patient are absolutely guaranteed.

Only in an urgent situation where it is not possible to receive blood from the Blood Bank in a timely manner, the hospital will mobilize blood donations from the patient’s relatives.

Talking to VietNamNet, Dr.BS. Bui Minh Trang added, the patient will pay the cost of blood used in the surgery according to the bill of the Blood Bank. In case the patient has difficulty and cannot afford to pay this fee, the Heart Institute will have a support policy. In addition, pediatric heart surgery patients in difficult circumstances are still supported with hospital fees ranging from 50-70 million depending on each case.

Previously, Tuoi Tre newspaper had an article reflecting “Blood sucking… volunteering to donate blood” that happened at the Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh City. Under the guise of volunteering, subject Hoang Trong An created a “script” to bypass both medical staff, blood donors and the families of pediatric heart surgery patients. This subject asked the patient’s family to spend money to support the blood donor. In fact, this money is not given to the donor.

Immediately after that, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City urgently directed the Department of Health, the Red Cross, and the City Police to coordinate in verifying and clarifying the case, and strictly dealt with the violating collectives and individuals (if any). yes).

Who is the man accused of “sucking blood.. volunteers”?With a presence for 10 years at the Heart Institute of Ho Chi Minh City, a person named Huynh Trong An has easily moved around in the administrative area, testing department and clinic. Medical staff did not find any suspicious activity of this person.
