Today is World Blood Donor day, which thanks those who voluntarily donate blood and encourages others to start becoming regular blood donors. The global campaign for this year is focused on youth. The slogan is: “New Blood for the World”.
The goal of this year’s World Blood Donor day is to get more young people involved in donating blood.
“Recruiting and retaining young donors not only improves the long-term safety and sufficiency of a country’s blood supply, but also promotes safe and healthy lifestyles,” the World Blood Donor day website writes. “With young people playing such a valuable role in helping to secure a safe and adequate blood supply, World Blood Donor Day is a good opportunity for governments, policymakers and blood programmes to thank them.”
The launch event for World Blood Donor day will be held in Barcelona, Spain. The Spanish and Catalonian Health Care Authorities, the Spanish and Catalonian donor associations and the Spanish Red Cross will host the event.
