Donate Blood, Save Lives on World Blood Donor Day!!!
Every year on june 14, people around the world honour the selfless efforts of those who donate blood voluntarily by thanking them and celebrating life and humanity. The gift of lifeblood—is the most priceless gift someone can give to another. If the blood is divided into its component parts - red cells, platelets, and plasma - which can be utilised separately for patients with specific illnesses, donating blood can save a life, or possibly several lives.
Blood donation, however, may also have its own unique set of advantages for donors. Donating blood can help avoid hemochromatosis, a condition that raises the risk of cardiovascular disorders like heart attack and stroke, by lowering the levels of excess iron in the blood. This can aid in the early discovery of several medical disorders that could otherwise go undetected, such as anaemia or infectious infections.
World Blood Donor Day 2023's catchphrase or theme is "Give blood, give plasma, share life, share often." The topic emphasises how crucial it is to routinely donate blood or blood plasma in order to build a safe and sustainable supply of blood and blood products that can always be made available, wherever in the world, to ensure that all patients in need can receive timely, life-saving care.
