World Blood Donor Day 2023

14 June 2023

Every single blood or plasma donation is a precious lifesaving gift and regular voluntary unpaid donation is the key to building a safe and sustainable blood supply. Access to a secure blood supply based on the voluntary unpaid donation is vital for all patients including many requiring life-long and regular transfusions for conditions such as sickle-cell anaemia and thalassaemia. Voluntary unpaid plasma donations also play an important part in supporting patients with a wide range of long-term conditions such as Haemophilia and immune deficiencies.
