On June 14, every year, World Blood Donor Day is celebrated across the globe with the primary objective of raising awareness about the importance of blood donation.

This is the opportunity to empower voluntary blood donors and highlight their life-saving contributions.

Organized by the WHO, efforts are made to educate the public about the impact that blood donation can have on the lives of others. 

The day aims to encourage more people to become regular blood donors.

This day was first distinguished by the WHO in 2004, in the 58th World Health Assembly, the date was declared as an annual global event.

The theme for the 2023 World Blood Donor Day campaign is “Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often.”

This day is aimed at highlighting the critical need for safe blood and blood products to save lives and aid medical treatment and procedures.

As blood transfusions are important for several medical procedures, including surgeries, trauma care, treatment for cancer patients, and managing blood disorders, donating blood can directly contribute to saving lives and improving health outcomes.
