Hugh Nguyen: Leading the New Era of Blood Services Across Asia Pacific

Hugh Nguyen, Managing Director at Abbott, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“This week in Ho Chi Minh City, Abbott Transfusion Medicine Asia-Pacific, together with our host partner Blood Transfusion Hematology Hospital (BTH), had the privilege of bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, blood services, and partners from across Asia Pacific through the Asia-Pacific Plasma Leaders’ Network (APPLN) and the Asia Pacific Scientific Summit.

Across both forums, one message stood out clearly: we are entering a new era of blood services.

An era where innovation, automation and digital transformation are enabling faster, smarter and safer blood systems.
An era where stronger plasma ecosystems can enhance self-sufficiency and expand access to life-changing therapies.
And an era where donor care evolves beyond recruitment to creating meaningful experiences that foster lifelong engagement.

As we celebrate 10 years of the Asia-Pacific Scientific Summit and 5 years of APPLN, I am inspired not only by the progress we have made, but also by the possibilities ahead and the impact we can create together.

The future of blood services will be shaped by bold leadership, trusted partnerships, and a shared commitment to improving patient outcomes.

Together, let’s lead the new era of blood services across Asia Pacific.” Hugh Nguyen: Leading the New Era of Blood Services Across Asia Pacific
