Although this result is still modest, it has initially demonstrated the attention, leadership and direction of all levels and sectors, the dedication and responsibility of cadres and members at all levels in recent years. However, besides the important achievements in organ transplantation, there are still many difficulties, challenges and obstacles that have not reached the majority of people such as: Documents serving propaganda and mobilization work are still limited; the movement to donate human tissues and organs is mainly integrated into propaganda and mobilization campaigns to receive blood.

Meanwhile, the staff doing propaganda work are mainly part-time and have not participated in specialized training courses on knowledge and skills; people's awareness is still limited, beliefs and religions, the obstruction of family and relatives, and the mentality that death may have to be intact, so many people are still afraid and do not dare to register to participate.

Comrade Le Van Luong said that the establishment of the Association for Mobilizing Human Tissue and Organ Donation in Lai Chau province not only demonstrates our determination to improve the quality of life of the people but also contributes positively to the overall development of the health sector. Therefore, in the coming time, the Association for Mobilizing Human Tissue and Organ Donation in Lai Chau province will maximize its role in propagating, mobilizing and encouraging people to participate in donation.

At the same time, it is recommended that all levels, sectors, agencies, units, socio-political, religious, professional organizations, cadres, civil servants, public employees, armed forces, etc. propagate and mobilize all relatives, friends, colleagues and people to actively participate in registering for organ and tissue donation, contributing to changing the awareness, attitude and behavior of each person to proactively participate in organ and tissue donation in the coming time.

With the message “Register to donate tissues and organs to save lives - Giving is forever”, those golden hearts and noble deeds will be an extremely valuable source of encouragement, contributing to saving and improving the lives of many patients. Therefore, let us all join hands to revive the lives that are waiting for tissue and organ transplants every day and spread the good meaning of registering human tissues and organs to everyone in the community in Lai Chau province, comrade Le Van Luong called.

Speaking at the launching ceremony; handing over the Decision to establish the Vietnamese Association for Organ and Tissue Donation in Lai Chau province, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Thi Kim Tien, President of the Vietnamese Association for Organ and Tissue Donation, said that the organization of the launching ceremony of the Program for Organ and Tissue Donation Registration in Lai Chau province; the Decision to establish the Vietnamese Association for Organ and Tissue Donation in Lai Chau province, and the above events demonstrate the responsibility, love, and compassion of the leaders of Lai Chau province, departments, branches, socio-political organizations, especially the Lai Chau Provincial Red Cross Society, and members in the movement for organ and tissue donation in the province.

As we know, donating organs and tissues to save lives "Giving is forever", is the highest form and act of charity, so registering to donate organs while alive, and donating organs and tissues after death is the pinnacle of compassion as Buddha pointed out. The Prime Minister registered to donate organs and launched the registration for organ and tissue donation on May 19, 2014. Therefore, Lai Chau province's organization of the launching ceremony of the Program for Registration of Organ and Tissue Donation to Save Lives demonstrates the responsibility to respond to the Prime Minister's call and also demonstrates the kindness of organizations and unions, especially the Lai Chau Provincial Red Cross Society, in donating organs and tissues to help save many lives in the locality in the coming time.

Thereby, helping to continue hope and nurture life for many patients who are waiting for organ transplants. Proudly, in recent times, 1,524/2,9,89 union members, workers, civil servants and laborers in the province have registered to donate organs and human organs, reaching more than 50% of the total number of registered people in the whole province.

Promoting the fine tradition of "mutual love and support" of the Vietnamese people, with the spirit of volunteering to register to donate organs and tissues to save people of each union member, worker, civil servant and laborer in the whole province will become a shining example to be replicated in the social community. At the same time, calling on all union members, workers, civil servants and laborers regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, age, living in urban or rural areas, remote and border areas to voluntarily register to donate organs and tissues in the spirit of "Giving is forever" in the condition of lighting up faith - creating life, one person can save many people.
