Staff of the Red Cross Society of Hoa Binh province were deeply moved by a meaningful and humanitarian act by Mr Vu Huu Lung, 86, in Hoa Binh city, to donate his corneas, which brought hopes to those yearning for the light. Before passing away, Lung left behind a noble wish to donate all of his organs, including his corneas, to help patients suffering from blindness and those in need of organ transplants to revive their lives.
As soon as receiving the information, medical workers from the eye bank of Hanoi Eye Hospital 2 quickly arrived in Hoa Binh to fulfill Lung's wish. Despite the long and urgent journey, everyone could feel the solemnity and emotion because this was not just an act of donation, but a sacred gesture, marking a new step in the community's humanitarian journey. Despite a swift process to take donated organs, every moment was filled with deep respect for the deceased.
