Vietnam proposes stricter gold trading rules; blood donations exceed 129,000 units

Vietnam is set to implement new regulations concerning the trade of gold, aiming to enhance quality control and measurement accuracy. Under a draft decree being developed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, scales used for buying and selling gold must undergo regular inspection and possess a valid certification.

Furthermore, imported gold bars and raw materials will be required to meet a minimum purity standard of 99.5% gold. These products must adhere to declared quality and content standards, with information clearly displayed on product packaging, labels, or accompanying documents, and be easily accessible online.

In parallel, the health sector reports significant achievements in blood donation. Cho Ray Hospital announced it has received over 129,000 blood units, ensuring a stable supply for medical treatment in the southern region. Despite initial difficulties in mobilizing donors, the hospital, in collaboration with various organizations and community groups, maintained consistent blood provision.

The Ministry of Health acknowledged the critical role of blood donation in healthcare, likening blood to the "breath" sustaining the medical system. The efforts of transfusion workers were recognized as vital to the health sector's operations.

In a separate incident, traffic police in Quang Tri province provided timely assistance to a pregnant woman experiencing labor pains. Officers on patrol assisted the woman, who was traveling by bus from Ha Tinh to Hue, ensuring she reached the hospital safely after her condition rapidly deteriorated.
