Blood donation is a selfless and a noble act, and a vital part of healthcare systems worldwide. It ensures that safe and sufficient blood supplies are available for patients with certain blood disorders, critical medical procedures, emergency situations, and contributing to research and development. World Blood Donor Day, observed annually on June 14th, is a global event dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of blood donation and recognizing the selfless and generous contributions of voluntary blood donors. This year's World Blood Donor Day theme is, "20 Years of Celebrating Giving: Thank You Blood Donors." By celebrating this milestone of 20 years, World Blood Donor Day 2024 not only commemorates the progress made in blood donation efforts but also renews the call to action for continued support and participation in blood donation.
