June 14 is World Blood Donor Day. It is a global day to raise awareness that blood donations are a life-saving gift and are essential for patients who need blood transfusions. This day also marks the birthday of Karl Landsteiner, who discovered the ABO blood group system and was awarded the Nobel Prize. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the theme for this year as “20 years of celebrating giving: Thank you blood donors!” The WHO as well as partners and communities worldwide thank blood donors and praise their incredible contributions to saving patients’ lives over the years. However, the number of people donating blood has decreased following the COVID-19 pandemic, and currently there is a chronic shortage of blood. In this environment, the WHO has listed the following as things we can do on World Blood Donor Day (excerpts): ・Voluntarily donate blood and inspire others to do the same. ・Encourage your friends and family to become regular blood donors. ・Find out your blood type and register as a blood donor. ・Participate in World Blood Donor Day through social networks. The WHO states that “blood is the most precious gift” and that safe blood saves lives. They say that to ensure blood is available when it is needed, enough healthy people need to donate blood on a regular basis.

On June 14th of each year, World Blood Donor Day is observed globally. This unique day serves as a way to honour those who donate their blood freely in order to aid others and to raise awareness of the critical need of having an adequate supply of safe blood on hand for patients in need. Karl Landsteiner, the man who discovered the ABO blood type system and was awarded a Nobel Prize for it, was born on June 14 as well. Donating blood is essential for extending and improving the lives of those with life-threatening illnesses. They assist with complex medical treatments as well. Goals of World Blood Donor Day include: 1. Remind everyone that blood donations are needed all year round. 2. Promote blood donation by educating local populations about its significance and inspiring others to give. 3. Encourage youth to begin giving blood and encourage their peers to follow suit. 4. Express gratitude to all blood donors and raise awareness of the importance of regular blood donations. 5. Encourage young people to donate blood in order to help everyone's health. Up to three lives can be saved by one donation of blood. Let's raise awareness of the value of blood donation. When we work together, we can change a lot. Invite your neighbourhood, family, and friends to participate in this life-saving endeavour as each and every gift matters and helps those the needful. Blood binds us all together, despite our differences. At *BIOTS*, we encourage everyone, to inspire and create awareness about blood donation, while remembering the world's most significant achievements in healthcare. #WorldBloodDonorDay #InnovationInHealthcare #TechForward #CelebrateDonors

Today's the day! Every donation you make today will be matched, making double the impact. Let's come together this #GivingTuesday and show what the Behçet's community #BetchaCan do! 💙 This year, the American Behcet's Disease Association (ABDA) had many wins. We held an educational summit and walk for patients and caregivers, hosted monthly virtual events to reduce isolation, launched our webinar platform, educated healthcare workers, and completed a final draft of The ABDA's US Patient Symptom Survey: ”Behçet's Disease in the United States: An ABDA survey of symptoms and patients’ diagnostic journey experiences.” We intend to ensure patients are given the opportunities they deserve, but we cannot do that without your support. That's why we are asking YOU to make a donation today. Every dollar counts. No amount is too small or too big. Your donation will make a lasting impact on the lives of people with Behcet’s Disease. Follow the link below to make a donation to our end-of-year campaign. #behcetsdisease #givingtuesday2023 #raredisease #donatenow https://lnkd.in/e24hhXNb

Every year people around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day (WBDD). The event serves to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products and to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood. Without blood donors I wouldn't be alive today. A blood service that gives patients access to safe blood and blood products in sufficient quantity is a key component of an effective health system.Just one blood donation could save, or improve, up to three lives. In low-income countries, up to 54% of blood transfusions are given to children under 5 years of age. In high-income countries, the largest patient group is 60 years of age, accounting for 76% of all transfusions. 118.5 million units of blood are donated every year. However, this is not sufficient to meet the global need. #WorldBloodDonorDay #BloodDonation #DonateBlood #WHOFides
