Today, May 20th marks the first time the Vietnam Organ and Tissue Donation Day was officially observed.
2
And on this occasion,
3
a ceremony was held by the Ministry of Health at the
4
Hanoi Medical University with the aim of raising public awareness
5
and strengthening support from authorities and the wider community for organ and tissue donation,
6
carrying the message, giving is forever.
7
After days of treatment, the patient was declared brain dead.
8
In the middle of their pain and loss,
9
the family made a meaningful decision.
10
When one life ends, it can still leave precious gifts to many others.
11
For the family of Bui Ding Hien,
12
overcoming their grief meant making the courageous decisions to donate his wife's organs,
13
giving three other people a second chance in life.
14
I hope a part of my wife still lives on.
15
When I realized my mother could give others a second chance at life,
16
I felt very proud of her.
17
According to the National Coordinating Center for Human Organ Transplantation,
18
public awareness of organ donation after brain death has improved significantly in recent years.
19
Vietnam recorded 41 donor cases in 2024,
20
66 in 2025,
21
and 25 more in the first month of 2026 bringing the total to 286 cases over the past 16 years.
22
We hope to build a stronger network between hospitals with better training
23
and coordination so potential organ donors can be identified and connected more quickly and professionally in the future.
24
More than 175,000 people have registered as donors.
25
Nearly 10,000 transplants have been performed over the past three decades.
26
But many patients are still waiting for a second chance at life.
27
May 20th marks Vietnam's organ donation day,
28
aimed at encouraging more people to register and give the gift of life.
29
And with this card in my hand,
30
I decided to become an organ donor,
31
hoping that one day these decisions of mine will give someone else a second chance in life.
32
Today's event also pay tribute to donor families whose decisions have saved many lives.
33
Ordering donor families is a way for society to express its deepest gratitude,
34
not only transplanted patients, but families and the wider community will always be thankful for their gift of life.
35
the message we hope to send to those willing to donate organs and tissues.
36
To learn more about the challenges and ongoing efforts to promote organ donation in Vietnam,
37
our reporter Phu Ngang set out with Associate Professor Dr. Nong Văn He,
38
Director of the National Coordination Center for Human Organ Transplantation.
39
First of all, thank you so much for accepting our invitation for this interview.
40
So in recent years, Vietnam has seen a growing public awareness of organ donation.
41
So from your perspective, what has been the most encouraging progress so far?
42
One of the most encouraging developments in Vietnam has been remarkable increase in public awareness and social support for organ donation,
43
especially donation after brand death.
44
Before 2023, the number of organ donation from brand deaths in Vietnam is less 5%.
45
But last year, disease organ donation is 18.9%.
46
From last two years, every year,
47
there are more than 50,000 people, 15,000 car donors.
48
What mechanism or policies are needed to make organ donation and transplantation more effective and accessible in Vietnam?
49
First, Vietnam needs a stronger national organ donation and transplantation coordination system.
50
This includes an rapid organ allocation mechanism and efficient transportation network to reduce organ ischemic harm.
51
Second, accurate information about brand debt,
52
organ donation, and transplantation should be integrated into schools and community campaigns.
53
Third, financial support policies are extremely important.
54
Finally, long-term success depends on building a culture of donation and social solidarity.
55
Organizations should be recognized not only as a medical procedure,
56
but also as a humanitarian act that saves lives and reflects cooperation within society.
57
Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience here today.

Grammatica in deze video

| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt | has improved · have registered · have been performed |

Uitspraak om op te letten
- De “th”-klanken: thankful /ˈθæŋkfəl/, strengthen /ˈstɹɛŋ(k)θən/
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: donation /doʊˈneɪʃən/, coordination /kəʊˌɔːdɪˈneɪʃən/, allocation /ˌæl.əˈkeɪ.ʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: coordination /kəʊˌɔːdɪˈneɪʃən/, allocation /ˌæl.əˈkeɪ.ʃən/, solidarity /ˌsɑ.ləˈdæɹ.ə.ti/, humanitarian /hjuˌmæ.nəˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: transplant /tɹænzˈplænt/, allocation /ˌæl.əˈkeɪ.ʃən/, solidarity /ˌsɑ.ləˈdæɹ.ə.ti/, humanitarian /hjuˌmæ.nəˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/
- /g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: integrate /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡɹeɪt/, gratitude /ˈɡɹæ.tɪ.tud/, grief /ɡɹiːf/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als donation, donor, ischemic.
Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
