Every single blood donation is a precious lifesaving gift, and repeat donation is the key to building a safe and sustainable blood supply. Thank you, blood donors, for saving lives with your blood donation!

The objectives of this year’s campaign are:

  • Thank and recognise the millions of voluntary blood donors who have contributed to the health and well-being of millions of people around the world.
  • Showcase the achievements and challenges of the national blood programmes and to share best practices and lessons learned.
  • Highlight the continuous need for regular, unpaid blood donation to achieve universal access to safe blood transfusion.
  • Promote a culture of regular blood donation among the youth and the general public and to increase the diversity and sustainability of the blood donor pool.
