SUMMARY:World Blood Donor Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year on 14th June\, the countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day to raise awareness about the requirement for blood donation since its inception in 2005.  \nObjectives \nThe World Blood Donor Day celebrates the unpaid blood donors for their life-saving contribution\, to encourage others to start donating. \nIt is also dedicated to ensuring that all individuals and communities have access to timely supplies of safe and quality assured blood and blood products affordably\, as an integral part of universal health coverage. \nBackground of World Blood Donor Day \nBlood transfusion saves many lives every year. It aids patients suffering from life-threatening diseases (like Heart attacks\, Lung problems\, Hypertension)  to live longer and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. Many countries have an insufficient supply of safe blood\, and due to this reason\, blood services face the challenge of maintaining an ample amount of blood supplies with quality.  \nHistory of World Blood Donor Day \nDuring the 58th World Health Assembly\, in May 2005\, the health ministers from all across the world declared their support towards voluntary blood donation in recognition of the requirement of blood transfusion to save millions of lives. And they designated the World Blood Donor Day an annual event to be held on 14th June. \nThis day also brings a precious opportunity to the donors to commemorate the birth anniversary of Karl Landsteiner (a scientist who received the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the ABO blood group system) on 14th June. \nThe theme of World Blood Donor Day \nThe theme highlights all the notions of ‘sharing’ and ‘connection’ amongst blood donors and patients. The campaign theme for 2020 is ‘Safe blood saves lives’\, and the slogan is ‘Give blood and make the world a healthier place.’ The idea behind the campaign is to focus on the contribution an individual can make to improve the health of others.
