Blood donation is a crucial form of support for patients, accident victims and others in need of blood transfusions.
Through this initiative, the Indonesian Embassy aims to contribute to maintaining blood availability in Laos and demonstrate the spirit of gotong royong (working together) as a shared value between Indonesia and Laos.
The Deputy Director of the Blood Institute of the Lao Red Cross, Ms Chilapa, welcomed the Embassy’s initiative as a meaningful expression of solidarity with the Lao people. She emphasised that blood donation remains an urgent and continuous need in Laos, as blood supplies depend on daily contributions from donors through the Lao Red Cross.
Ms Chilapa encouraged other diplomatic missions and international organisations in Laos to undertake similar initiatives to support communities in need.
The Embassy of Indonesia extended its appreciation to the Lao Red Cross, donors, volunteers and all participants who contributed to the success of this humanitarian activity. Through this campaign, Indonesia hopes to inspire greater cooperation and solidarity from the international community in supporting the well-being of the Lao people.
