Tomorrow is World Blood Donor Day and I’d like to encourage everyone who can donate blood to book in and donate on a regular basis.
As I have O- blood type, my blood can be given to anyone (as seen below in the blood type chart from the Red Cross site), so I try to donate my half a litre as regularly as possible. Recently we implemented a program in our business to encourage staff to give blood regularly during work hours.
The World Blood Donor Day is held each year on the 14th of June, which is the birthday of Dr Karl Landsteiner (1868 – 1943), the Austrian Nobel Prize winner who discovered the ABO blood group system in 1901.
