WHO to celebrate World Blood Donor Day
Monday 12 June 2023 - 09:30

World Blood Donor Day will be commemorated once again on June 14, 2023. The World Health Assembly officially declared the Day an annual occurrence in 2005.

It offers a unique opportunity to recognize and express gratitude to voluntary blood donors around the globe for their gift of blood and has grown to be a major action focal point for achieving widespread access to safe blood transfusions.

“Every single donation is a precious lifesaving gift and repeat donation is the key to building a safe and sustainable blood supply,” said World Health Organisation.

The campaign’s catchphrase this year is “Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often.”  It emphasizes the important role that every person may play by contributing the priceless gift of blood or plasma and focuses on people who require lifelong transfusion support. 

It also emphasizes how crucial it is to routinely donate blood or plasma to build a safe and sustainable supply of blood and blood products that can always be made available, anywhere in the globe, to ensure that all patients in need may receive timely care.
