When is World Blood Donor Day and why is it coming from?

World Blood Donor Day is celebrated annually on June 14, chosen because June 14 is the birthday of Carl Landsteiner, the Nobel laureate who discovered the ABO blood group system, and to encourage more people to donate blood for free, and to promote and promote the implementation of the Global Blood Safety Program.

Unpaid blood donation refers to the act of voluntarily donating one's blood to social welfare undertakings in order to save the lives of others, and blood donors do not charge more than the necessary cost of transportation, lost work, etc., and remuneration for blood donation.

Blood donation is a noble act of selfless dedication, saving lives and helping the wounded, and is the general direction of the development of China's blood industry.

Because donating blood components requires a more spacious environment and professional collection equipment, there are higher requirements for the power of the collection equipment and the comfort of the process, and it is generally only collected when it is clinically necessary.

World Blood Donor Day is celebrated annually on 14 June. In order to encourage more healthy people to join the ranks of blood donors, promote and promote the implementation of global blood safety programs. At the 8th International Conference on the Recruitment of Voluntary Unpaid Blood Donors held in South Africa in 2001, the World Health Organization, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Federation of Blood Donor Organizations, and the International Blood Transfusion Association jointly advocated that the birthday of Nobel laureate Carl Landsteiner, who discovered the ABO blood group system, "June 14", be designated as "World Blood Donor Day".

It was decided that from 2004 onwards, the World Blood Donor Day would be celebrated globally on 14 June every year.

Benefits of donating blood.

1. Make people healthier.

For people who insist on long-term, moderate blood donation, their bone marrow hematopoietic system will be constantly stimulated, the proportion of fresh blood cells will be significantly higher than that of people who have not donated blood, and blood donation will also reduce blood viscosity.

2. Reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease.

Blood donation can have a positive impact on the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems, thereby reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

3. Reduce the incidence of cancer.

Iron is one of the essential elements for the human body, but studies have found that if the amount of iron in the body exceeds 10% of the normal value, it increases the risk of cancer, and blood donation can help the body excrete too much iron. In this sense, donating blood can reduce the incidence of cancer.

World Blood Donor Day was established in 2004 and is celebrated on 14 June every year. The reason why this day was chosen is because June 14 is the birthday of Carl Landsteiner, who discovered the ABO blood group system.

World Blood Donor Day was established to encourage more people to donate blood for free, and to promote and promote the implementation of the Global Blood Sect Hand Fluid Safety Programme.
