World Blood Donor Day – 14th June

    World Blood Donor Day

    Be A Real-Life Superman, Be A Brave Blood Donor!

    We feel helpless when our family and loved ones struggle to find blood during urgent, life-threatening health conditions, especially during this pandemic. We know what it means to lose a family member due to the scarcity of blood. Therefore gifting life to someone in the form of blood is priceless. Blood donation is the need of the hour.


    Why is World Blood Donor Day celebrated on 14th June?

    World Blood Donor day is celebrated on the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian biologist, physician, and new blood transfusion founder. The WHO first observed World Blood Donor Day in 2004, and in the year 2005, during the
    58th World Health Assembly, it was confirmed as an annual global event.

    World Blood Donation Day is an initiative taken by the World Health Organization (WHO) celebrated every year on 14
    June.
