World Blood Donor Day 2022 - Global event
WHAT: World Blood Donor Day 2022.
WHEN: 14 June 2022, 12. p.m. EDT (Washington, DC Time)
HOW. Host by Mexico through its National Blood Centre
World Blood Donor Day was created to:
- raise global awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products for transfusion;
- highlight the critical contribution voluntary, unpaid blood donors make to national health systems;
- support national blood transfusion services, blood donor organizations, and other non-governmental organizations in strengthening and expanding their voluntary blood donor programs by reinforcing national and local campaigns.
The day also provides an opportunity to call to action governments and national health authorities to provide adequate resources to increase the collection of blood from voluntary, unpaid blood donors and to manage access to blood and the transfusion of those who require it.
