World Donor (WBDD) June 2009

Blood Day14

Fingertip facts

Welcome to the team!As one involved in the care and management of the world's 50 million or more voluntary, unpaid blood donors and plasma donors you are an essential member of a vast global network.WBDD relies on you for its success, and the organizers h o p e t h e i n f o r m a t i o n enclosed serves as a little reminder for you to make 14 June 2009 a very special day. Thank you!

What is WBDD?WBDD is held on 14 June each year as a worldwide celebration to honour and thank those people who donate their blood on a voluntary, unpaid basis : it is a special day to acknowledge these donors who are providing the strongest foundation for a safe and sustainable blood supply.

Objective of WBDDThe objective is not to attract a big influx of new blood donors on 14 June! But instead to create w i d e r a w a r e n e s s o f t h e importance of voluntary, unpaid blood donation and encourage more people to become regular donors, including those healthy donors who have already given blood when it was needed by a family member or friend.

Sample of WBDD key messages

In all regions of the world, blood shortages result in unnecessary deaths or ill-health. There is a need for more people to donate blood on a regular basis, especially in developing countries where blood shortages are particularly acute.

WBDD Key messages(cont'd)

Voluntary unpaid blood

donors are the cornerstone of

safe and adequate blood

supplies. Voluntary blood

donors are those who donate

blood plasma or cellular

components of their own and

are not under any pressure

from hospital staff or family

members to donate blood.

They entrust their blood

donations to be used as

needed by patients.
