On World Blood Donor Day, celebrated on 14 June 2025, WHO, its partners and communities across the world will unite behind the theme: Give Blood Give Hope Together We Save Lives.
The World Blood Donor Day is an excellent opportunity to thank blood donors across the world for their life-saving donations over the years and honour the profound impact on both patients and donors. It is also a timely moment to address continued challenges, and accelerate progress towards a future where safe blood transfusion is universally accessible.
