HANOI, Feb 13 (Vietnam News/ANN): The Red Spring Festival, the largest blood donation event in Vietnam, began in Hanoi on Saturday (Feb 12) for the 15th year.

Director of the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion (NIHBT) Bạch Quoc Khanh, head of the festival organising board, said the event, held annually after the Lunar New Year festival, aims to ensure sufficient blood supply for medical use which, in the past, often faced a serious shortage after the country’s biggest and longest holiday.
