Behind every #blooddonation is a story of hope and healing. Patients around the world, from accident victims to those undergoing complex surgeries owe their recovery to the anonymous donors who provide the blood that sustain their lives 🫂 World Blood Donor Day, celebrated every year on June 14th, was founded by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2004. Its primary aim is to raise awareness about the importance of safe blood donations and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts. WHO reports that over 118 million blood donations are collected globally each year, thanks to the concerted efforts of national health services, NGOs, community groups, friends and families. However, challenges remain as many developing countries still face blood shortages and struggle to provide safe blood due to lack of resources. It is important to increase donor recruitment and retention, particularly amongst younger generations. We therefore make a call to advocate for and support blood donation. If you are a regular donor, thank you for your life-saving generosity. If you have never donated before, consider making an appointment to donate and join the global community of life-savers. Many thanks to blood donors worldover for their invaluable contributions to humanity. Here’s to 21 years of celebrating the gift of life and to many more years of generosity, compassion, good health, and well being. #CallToAction #WorldBloodDonorDay2025 #GiveBloodGiveHope #ThankYouBloodDonors #YouAreLifeSavers #GoodHealthandWellbeing #LeaveNoOneBehind #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #GlobalGoals
