According to WHO, the theme of the 2015 World Blood Donor Day goes is “Thank you for saving my life”. The WHO campaign “aims to highlight stories from people whose lives have been saved through blood donation, as a way of motivating regular blood donors to continue giving blood and people in good health who have never given blood to begin doing so.” Another slogan – ‘Give freely, give often. Blood donation matters’ – is being used on World Blood Donor Day.
