World Blood Donor Day: The Holiday's Date, History, And Importance

The purpose of World Blood Donor Day is to promote awareness of the critical need for quality blood and blood products in order to save lives and make medical treatments and procedures more accessible.

 

World Blood Donor Day is a global event held on June 14 to raise awareness about the importance of blood donation. Furthermore, the day is a fantastic occasion to empower and recognise voluntary blood donors for their life-saving contributions. The United Nations World Health Organisation is attempting to educate the public about the huge impact that blood donation can have on the lives of others.  The day intends to inspire more individuals to donate blood on a regular basis in this way.

Date and History

World Blood Donor Day is commemorated every year on June 14, as previously indicated. The World Health Organisation first recognised it in 2004, and the day was made an annual worldwide event at the 58th World Health Assembly the following year. Every year, World Blood Donor Day has a different theme that highlights different aspects of blood giving. The World Blood Donor Day 2023 campaign slogan is "Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often."

Significance 

World Blood Donor Day, as previously stated, is designed to promote awareness of the critical need for healthy blood and blood products in order to save lives and expedite medical treatment and procedures. Because blood transfusions are required for many medical procedures, such as surgeries, trauma treatment, cancer therapy, and blood condition management, donating blood directly contributes to the saving of lives and the improvement of health outcomes.

World Blood Donor Day educates people about the benefits of blood donation, ranging from free medical check-ups to health benefits for donors, as well as serving as a platform to promote awareness about the importance of regular contributions and dispel common misconceptions about blood donation. 

According to the WHO, the event's goals are as follows:

  • Individuals who donate blood should be identified and rewarded, and future donors should be encouraged.
  • Encourage healthy persons to regularly donate blood.
  • To make the lives of transfusion-dependent patients better.
  • Work to ensure a safe blood supply in all countries worldwide.
  • People should be informed on the value of blood donations in ensuring universal access to safe blood products for all populations.
  • Work with national, regional, and global governments and development partners to invest in, strengthen, and sustain national blood programmes.

Every year on the first Friday of June, Canadians honour the doughnut and the Salvation Army Lassies by celebrating National Doughnut or Donut Day. During WWI, the ladies who served doughnuts to troops were known as Salvation Army Lassies. The first "Salvation Army Doughnut" was served by Salvation Army ladies in 1917. During WWI, the Salvation Army Lassies fought on the front lines of Europe. The home-cooked meals provided by these brave volunteers bolstered the troops' morale. Doughnuts were frequently baked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. At the time, American infantrymen were referred to as "doughboys."
