When the Vietnam National Coordinating Center for Human Organ Transplantation was established in 2014, it received just 200 registrations, most including center officials and staff while the rest comprised medical workers. The number rose to more than 20,000 in 2017 and over 46,000 in 2021. Currently, it stands at almost 50,000. In the past, Vietnamese were not willing to share parts of their bodies as many believed one should die wholly to prepare for the afterlife, said Center Director Dong Van He at its meeting in Hanoi on Monday. However, in recent years, many "touching" stories about donations following brainstem death have inspired people to change their views about dying, he said. Donors on the list come from all walks of life and are of various ages. Many are members of one family. He said 95% of organ transplants in Vietnam have a living person as donors and just 5% get organs from a deceased person, which goes completely against the global trend.

"With no certificates, I can only apply for a blue-collar job, but most factories turned me down," the 24-year-old woman said. Factories in Vietnam demanded that she work faster than in Japan for one-fifth of the salary she got there, at around VND6 million ($256) a month. In Japan she received VND30 million a month and was able to send two-thirds of it back to her family and live comfortably with the remaining one-third. "I had enough to spare, but in Vietnam, I run out of money very quickly." Nguyet is among nearly 548,700 Vietnamese citizens who’d gone abroad to work in the last five years to earn higher incomes and help their families back home.
