Every year on June 14th it is #WorldBloodDay, a day to raise awareness of the importance of blood donations to the healthcare industry. From plasma treatments to research and emergency uses, blood donation is a vital practice that can save lives!
Donating blood is not just for the sole purpose of transfusion — it has many other benefits for the health industry. World Blood Donor Day aims to raise awareness regarding the need for regular blood donations, important to keep the health industry with a stable supply, and to celebrate the hard work of medical professionals that work in the research and development for new technology and uses for donated blood, as well as medical teams who use blood on a regular basis. This day is also used to thank donors for their service and determination to save lives and make the world a better place.
