SINGAPORE – World Blood Donor Day is celebrated annually on June 14 to raise
awareness of the importance of blood donation and encourage more people to
become regular donors. 

The event was initiated in 2004 by four international organisations – the World
Health Organisation, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies, the International Society of Blood Transfusion, and the International
Federation of Blood Donor Organisations.
