Despite the steady progress in modern medicine, the demand for blood is still met by relying only on people’s donation as nothing can substitute for blood and blood cannot be made with anything.
Many countries are now facing a variety of knotty problems due to shortage of blood supply and the quality and safety of blood supply in the blood transfusion service. The number of blood donors is decreasing due to population decline and ageing, economic depression, different kinds of diseases and infections and other causes. In particular, armed conflicts, disputes and natural calamities are threatening the lives of many people.
The timely provision of necessary blood gives people in the jaws of death hope and guarantee for life.
June 14 is the birthday of a winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology who made a remarkable contribution to the history of blood transfusion by discovering the ABO-type blood for the first time amid the growing worldwide interest in safe transfusion and it was set as World Blood Donor Day to commemorate it every year.
The theme of this year’s World Blood Donor Day is “Give blood, give hope: together we save lives!”
This day is commemorated every year to encourage people to voluntarily donate blood so as to save the lives of patients, and to take an active part in the donation for society and the collective.
Many working people donate their blood for society and the collective in the DPRK.
The transfusion sector is increasing the production of blood and blood products whose safety is fully guaranteed by improving the quality of experiments and tests while bettering the service for blood donors.
An event took place at the National Blood Centre of the Ministry of Public Health on June 17 on the occasion of the day.
In the event congratulations and encouragement were offered to lots of donors who make regular blood donation with noble devotion.
