In 2005, the World Health Organization, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the International Blood Transfusion Society and the International Association of Blood Donor Organizations agreed to make June 14 every year "World Blood Donor Day". This is also an occasion to commemorate the person who discovered the ABO blood group system - Austrian Professor Karl Landsteiner (born June 14, 1858). Since 2005, member countries of the World Health Organization have agreed that this is an important event held annually, marked by activities to recognize, commend and honor those who have donated blood, donated blood many times and to encourage other healthy people to participate in donating blood to save lives.
Mr. Le Tu Luc said: Hanoi is proud to be the first locality to launch the voluntary blood donation movement in 1994. Since then, with the annual blood collection results, Hanoi has always been the leading unit in the country in the voluntary blood donation movement.
