World Blood Donor Day is around the corner
People are encouraged to donate blood to save lives
Countries around the world will celebrate World Blood Donor Day on June 14.
Every year, South Africa observes World Blood Donor Day in June to emphasise the need for a stable supply of healthy, safe blood and blood products. Moreover, this celebration serves the purpose of thanking and encouraging people to commit to regular donations.
SANBS Senior Manager: Marketing & Communication Thandi Mosupye expressed the organisation’s gratitude, saying, “The best gift you can give anyone is the gift of life. We know that South Africans have huge hearts and we call on them to fully embrace the spirit of unity under this year’s World Blood Donor Day theme, which is ‘Donating blood is an act of solidarity; join the effort and save lives’.”
