History
The International Federation of Red Cross, International Federation of Blood Donor Organizations, and the International Society of Blood Transfusion joined forces to create World Blood Donor Day on September 28. It was first launched in Johannesburg, South Africa, on June 14, 2004. The date was chosen in honor of Karl Landsteiner's birthday.. At the start of the twentieth century, He discovered and categorized the A, B, and O blood groups. Doctors were able to transfer blood from one patient to another, saving hundreds of lives as a result.
The first anniversary was held in the hopes that more people will be inspired to become donors, as it does today.
