Since 2004, WHO established this day as World Blood Donors Day
The World Health Organization (WHO) launched World Blood Donor Day in 2004 to raise awareness about the continued need for blood donations to save lives. Blood donations are vital to foreign health systems and can only be made by volunteers. Every year on June 14th, World Blood Donor Day is observed. Karl Landsteiner, who earned the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1930 for his work in categorising blood types, was born on this day. Landsteiner was the first to divide human blood into four groups: A, B, AB, and O.
