World Blood Donor Day is observed on June 13 every year to spread awareness about the critical role safe blood plays in healthcare systems globally, and the ongoing need for regular donations. “Blood donation is a vital and straightforward process that plays a crucial role in saving lives and supporting the healthcare system. By understanding and following the outlined steps—registration, examination, donation, and refreshment—donors can contribute to this noble cause while ensuring their own safety and comfort,” says Dr Dhaval Fadadu, consultant of transfusion medicine and blood bank at Manipal Hospital Goa.
