Every year on 14 June, countries around the world
celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). The event, established in 2004, serves to raise awareness of
the need for safe blood and blood
products, and to thank blood
donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood.
World Blood Donor Day celebration brings a
precious opportunity to all donors for celebrating it on national and global
level as well as to commemorate the birthday anniversary of the Karl
Landsteiner (a great scientist who won the Nobel Prize for his great discovery
of the ABO blood group system).
All the
best
