World Blood Donor Day (WBDD) is held annually on 14 June. It aims to help build a worldwide culture of voluntary blood donation. Since its inception, this event has celebrated blood donors and highlighted the unique life-saving role they play in the health of their community.
It is also used to create wider awareness about the need for blood and how many more people throughout the world need to become regular voluntary blood donors.
Transfusion of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. It also has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and perinatal care. Access to safe and sufficient blood and blood products can help reduce rates of death and disability due to severe bleeding during delivery and after childbirth
The focus of this year's World Blood Donor Day campaign is "Safe blood for saving mothers". Every day, about 800 women die from pregnancy or childbirth-related complications. Severe bleeding during delivery and after childbirth is a major cause of mortality, morbidity and long-term disability. The goal of the campaign is to increase awareness about why timely access to safe blood and blood products is essential for all countries as part of a comprehensive approach to prevent maternal deaths.
