Governor N N Vohra has said that the World Blood Donor Day is celebrated worldwide, on 14th June every year, for raising public awareness about the high importance of healthy persons voluntarily making blood donations.
“The celebration of World Blood Donor Day provides a valuable opportunity for re-invigorating the noble practice of blood donations and to also thank the donors whose contributions enable precious human lives being saved by doctors,” he said.
Emphasising the vital importance of voluntary blood donations, the Governor noted that well run Blood Banks help in saving millions of lives every year and appealed to every healthy adult to come forward and voluntarily donate blood, on a regular basis.
