The joy of sharing

18/08/2017

It is very great to be a blood donor. For every time we give blood, our blood will be classified to serve patients’ needs; a unit of blood given can save the lives of about 3 to 4 people. Moreover, there is currently no product that can replace blood in medical treatments, especially for infants. That further affirms the importance and the meaning of blood donation.

After 5 years of its launch, this year’s charitable blood donation themed "Sacombank - sharing from the heart" continues to be held in response to the blood donation program named "Red Journey"- the national humanitarian campaign led by the National Steering Committee for voluntary blood donations in Vietnam, supported by the central ministries and branches in order to deal with blood shortage in hospitals and health offices across the country and to prevent thalassemia as well.
This program was kick-started at Sacombank’s transaction offices nationwide from 07/07/2017. In the series of events, the program especially attracted more than 500 participants - the Bank’s staff working in HCMC when held at Sacombank’s Head Office on 18/9/2017.

In the early morning, Sacombank's employees working at its Head Office
and its transaction offices in Ho Chi Minh City eagerly gather to perform their noble deeds.
