Current Affairs - Important Days - Discussion

World Blood Donor Day is observed every year on June 14 to honour voluntary blood donors and raise awareness about the essential need for safe blood and blood products. In 2025, the theme “Give Blood, Give Hope” highlights how blood donation not only saves lives but also offers emotional and physical hope to those in dire medical situations. The day recognises the compassion behind each donation and encourages more people to participate regularly. June 14 commemorates the birth anniversary of Karl Landsteiner, the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who discovered blood groups, making this date significant globally.
