Donation knows no boundaries
World Blood Donor Day is celebrated annually on June 14 in different countries of the world.It was first held in 2004, and was officially established in May 2005 during the 58th World Health Assembly in Geneva. The initiators of the World Donor Day were four international organizations calling for voluntary and free blood donation — WHO, The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the International Federation of Blood Donor Organizations, and the International Blood Transfusion Society.
The date of the World Blood Donor Day is timed to coincide with the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian doctor, immunologist, who received in 1930 The Nobel Prize for the discovery of human blood groups. This day is designed to unite the world in an effort to pay tribute to the selfless people who give their blood to save the lives and improve the health of complete strangers. The event also aims to support blood transfusion services, blood donor organizations and other non-governmental organizations in strengthening and expanding their voluntary blood donation programs and strengthening national and local campaigns.
In 2021, this holiday will be held under the slogan "Donate blood, let life pulse in the world". Of particular importance is the activity of young people to support the donor movement.
