每年6月14日，世界各国都会庆祝世界献血日。这项活动的目的是为了感谢自愿、无偿献血者捐献的血液，并提高人们对定期自愿无偿献血的认识，以确保有需要的病人血液和血液制品的质量、安全性和可获得性。
每年，通过输注血液和血液制品方式，有数百万人的生命得的挽救。血液可以帮助患者在危及生命的条件下获得时间更长，质量更高的生活，并且可以支持复杂的医疗和手术程序。血液在特殊时刻也发挥着特别重要的挽救生命的作用，尤其是在母婴保健和突发灾害事件（自然或人为的）发生的时候。
血液服务使患者能够获得足够数量的安全血液和血液制品，是有效的健康系统的关键组成部分。血液只有通过自愿、无偿献血者的定期捐赠才能保证充足的供给。然而，在许多国家，血液服务面临着充分利用血液的挑战，同时也保证了其质量和安全。
2018年世界献血者日主办国家是希腊，希腊国家血液中心将承办相关纪念活动。2018年6月14日雅典，世界瞩目。
Be there for someone else. Give blood. Share life.
Every year, on 14 June, countries around the world celebrate World Blood Donor Day. The event serves to thank voluntary, unpaid blood donors for their life-saving gifts of blood and to raise awareness of the need for regular blood donations to ensure the quality, safety and availability of blood and blood products for patients in need.
Transfusion of blood and blood products helps save millions of lives every year. It can help patients suffering from life-threatening conditions live longer and with a higher quality of life, and supports complex medical and surgical procedures. It also has an essential, life-saving role in maternal and child care and during the emergency response to man-made and natural disasters.
A blood service that gives patients access to safe blood and blood products in sufficient quantity is a key component of an effective health system. An adequate supply can only be ensured through regular donations by voluntary, unpaid blood donors. However, in many countries, blood services face the challenge of making sufficient blood available, while also ensuring its quality and safety.
The host country for World Blood Donor Day 2018 events is Greece, through the Hellenic National Blood Centre. The global event will be held in Athens on 14 June 2018.
