The different levels of the Red Cross have actively renewed the content and modes of operation, towards practicality, efficiency, strong grassroots and being consistent with the characteristics of the province. In particular, they have actively coordinated with other departments, agencies, unions and organizations to implement the programs, the projects and the campaigns associated with the implementation of Directive No. 05-CT/TW. In particular, they have effectively deployed the following campaigns and movements "Each organization and individual associates with a humanitarian address”, "Tet for the poor and the victims of Agent Orange victims”, "Blood donation volunteering”, "the Bank of Cows” and so on.
