8/14/2019 World Blood Donor Day
3/5
Like the past few years, this year too, on 14th June, The World
Blood Donor Day will be
observed all over the world for creating extensive awareness,
for making people realise the
need for safe blood transfusion, for putting stress on the
importance of voluntary blood
donation. However, as declared by WHO, ISBT,FIBDO and a few
other organizations, it
will be, above all, an occasion to thank all the voluntary blood
donors and to acknowledge
all those individuals, who, responding to the worldwide increase
in demand for safe blood,
have worked day and night to help the people at the time of
their need. The World BloodDonor Day is dedicated to the unsung
heroes, those nonprofessional unpaid blood donors
who have fought to create a steady foundation of safe blood
supply to save the lives of
people suffering from life threatening diseases.
The day 14th June is of special significance for all those who
are interested in Medical
Science and Biology. It is the birthday ofKarl Landsteiner, the
eminent Austrian Biologist
and physician who received the Nobel Prize in 1930 for
discovering the ABO Blood Group
System.
