Ratan Tata urges Mumbaikars to help him find a blood donor for a sick dog

<p><strong>World Blood Donor Day 2023:</strong> Every year on June 14, people across the world observe World Blood Donor Day. It aims to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and to thank people who donate blood. Blood donation is a life-saving gesture that ensures the availability of safe blood and blood products during health emergencies. Regular blood donation in society helps create safe and sustainable blood that is always available for timely treatment. One such example happened a few days ago when hundreds of people in India's eastern state of Odisha gathered to donate blood for the injured victims of a major train crash.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Here are the theme, significance, and do's and don'ts for&nbsp;donating&nbsp;blood for World Blood Donor Day 2023:</p>

<p>The history of blood donation goes back to ancient times. English physician Richard Lower is best remembered for his pioneering work on blood transfusion and the function &nbsp;of the cardiopulmonary system, which he also described in his book "Tractatus de Corde."</p>

<p>However, WHO decided to celebrate World Blood Donor Day on the birth anniversary of Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian American immunologist and pathologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1930 for his works on blood groups and the development of the modern blood transfusion system.&nbsp;</p>

<h3><strong>World Blood Donor Day 2023: Significance</strong></h3>

<p>The age should be between 18 and 65 years.</p>

<p>You should not have a cold, flu, or any other infection.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Your haemoglobin should not be less than 12.5 g/dl.</p>

<h3><strong>World Blood Donor Day 2023: Individuals who CANNOT donate blood:</strong></h3>

<p>Pregnant or lactating women cannot donate blood. Even women who had their abortions recently can't donate blood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you recently had a tattoo or body piercing done, then you cannot donate blood for the next 6 months.</p>

<p>If you're HIV positive, then you can't donate blood in most countries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Those individuals who have consumed alcohol for 48 hours before the donation or who have ever injected drugs cannot donate blood.</p>
